Quest for Hades - Katana

Hear now the tale of an ancient girl

Who would die the most gruesome death

As she set out to venture the world

On a foolish and dangerous quest

She walked alone, bound by her word

To the boy who had died in her arms

That she would bring back from Hades his soul

So that he might live to grow old

The girl travelled far, into the west

For the rumours that she had heard

Spoke of a lake on a mountain crest

Which led straight to the bowels of the earth

The journey went on for countless days

'Til at last, she had reached her goal

Then she plunged into the infernal waves

And a chill went through her soul

The girl looked around and cowered in fear

Because of the horror she beheld

Thousands of corpses were floating near

Rotting away with a putrid smell

Her senses gone numb, the girl thought she saw

A face watching her with lifeless eyes

As she kept staring in terrified awe

Something below dragged her down from the light

Down

Down

Down below

Down

Down

Down

Down

Down

Down throught the mud, and further still

She was descending like a rock

The girl thought she had only moments to live

When all of a sudden, a cave opened up

Now she could breath, what good did it do

She was surrounded by nightmares

Demons were frolicking all around

Seeming to be in some kind of trance

Dance

Dance

How they danced

Spinning around

Dance of the dead

Then he came out of the shadows

The lord of the underworld

And he strode through the hall

While addressing the girl

So you think you’ve come for Hades

To bring back a soul

But that place is no more than myth

That boy will never grow old

Then, the girl despaired

She looked to leave the cave

The lord told her, there’s no way out

But you’re more than welcome to stay

Suddenly, something happened within her soul

It wanted to leave her body

You are mine, declared the lord

Let it go, surrender

Sing out your soul to me

And so, she sang

The girl spun around, losing control

She felt weightless, just like air

Then she was floating across the hall

Headed straight for the master’s chair

Such was the end of her life

Her soul was consumed by the lord of the dead

Thus would her body stay out of the light

Dancing as one of the demons instead

Dead

Dead

Stone cold dead

Dead

Dead

Dead

Dead

Dead
