Prologue / Son of Persephone

Across the hill
A burning forest
Like the night
The grass is turning dark
A fawn she runs
Embers in her hair
Like weakness
The fire burns the bark

Underneath
The forest floor of ashes
There's a man
Laughing to himself
On his leash
A woman cries
For her child
Burning in hell

I am a son of Persephone I know
Yes I am a son of Persephone I know
Yes I am a son of Persephone I know
And like the trees at night
I too forever glow

So try to stay awake
When the sun is going down
Cause the world's gonna kill you in your sleep
The laughing man
Sends out his hounds
The tears of my mother lying at his feet

The dogs are howling
In the moonlight
Tired and damned
Looking for someone to eat
Their coats are burning
Like the fire in my heart
Their eyes are cursed
Like the blood inside of me

I am a son of Persephone I know
Yes I am a son of Persephone I know
Yes I am a son of Persephone I know
And like the dogs at night
I too forever glow

Running through the forest
Burning every tree
Fire comes to everything I see
A candle in the darkness
An angel without wings
Father, what have you done to mother and me

I am a son of Persephone I know
Yes I am a son of Persephone I know
Yes I am a son of Persephone I know
And like my father
I too forever and ever
Oh yeah
Glow
