There once was a time in the long, long, ago, when there was joy and laughter everywhere, when the flowers that grew, blossomed all the year through, and the world was eternally fair. For there lived a maiden, so gentle was she, that all the world loved her tenderly, and life was then so pleasant, that joy was ever present, and the world grew more lovely each day.
The flowers danced around her, they formed a wreath and crowned her, the Goddess of Eternal Spring, the Goddess of Eternal Spring.
[Hades}
Fairest of maidens, I've chosen you to be queen of my kingdom below!
[Persephone]
No, no, I will not go! No! No!
[Hades]
With this crown, I make you queen of Hades! Mighty Hades!
[Choral]
Mighty Hades! (x10)
The world above was sad and lonely for winter winds were blowing. And everywhere the woodland creatures were in despair, and grieving for their loving goddess.
[Hades]
Come, come my queen! Dry the tears from your eyes! I bring you this diamond. behold its size!
What?! You still are sad? Your constant tears will drive me mad!
I'm willing to do anything you say, if only you smile, be a little bit gay! Tell me, tell me what can I do?
[Persephone]
Please, let me return to my world of above, be gentle, be kind and comply. For at least I return to my world of above, each growing thing will die.
[Hades]
Very well, I let you go! But! You must promised to return! And spend half of every year down here! Well, what do you say?
[Persephone]
I promise!
[Hades]
I wanna see you swear!
[Persephone]
To this I swear!
[Both]
To this, I swear!
When this holy goddess returned from below, there was a whole day of happiness. There was spring in the air, and the world everywhere soon would love and (?) once again. The world that is happy when she's up above, is always sad when she's down below. So now you know the reason why there will be the seasons, instead of eternal spring, instead of eternal spring.
