Out of the ashes..

Hades, oh, Hades
What hast thou done?
Thou hast taken my fair maiden
Thou hast left me with nothing
But a wound to forever nurse
Hast thou come to bestow grief upon me?
Hast mine enemies laughed at me already?

Thou wicked foe
Thou art cursed, thou devil of pain and grief
Until when wilt thou snatch coldly the love of our lives?
Until when wilt thou wound our hearts
With thy double-edged sword?
Until when wilt thou make orphans of children?
And chase the Knight of Joy into darkness?

At dawn, the cries of pain and agony awake me
To a world shrouded with loneliness do I awaken
The morning dew has ceased
For thou hast taken hold of everything beautiful
And thou hast made it ugly

Oh, devil’s friend
Thy time has come to an end
To you we’ll no longer bend
For the Knight of Joy will send
Joy to heal and mend our hearts
Never will you rend
Our hearts or tear the bonds we share
With the ones for whom we care

Run, foe, run
For thy life is no longer safe
Arising is the sun
Run into the dark cave
Hide if thou can
For a way will be paved
By Joy and by man
And thou wilt be shamed
Peace, thou wilt find none
For thou art truly shamed
