lyrics

Do you know of Persephone's fate?
It will haunt me til the end of time
He owned the tree and cursed the fruit that she ate
Her youth and beauty were her only crime
Now for months on end, he keeps her underground
She belongs to Hades
Earth and mother weep, but their hands are bound
The Goddess mourns her baby

Meet me
Meet me, Mother (she was betrayed)
Meet me, Mother (mother made a trade)
Underground

Meet me
Meet me, Mother (betrayed x)
Meet me, Mother
Underground (see you in hell)

When the spring it breaks the winter
Will I see you again?
