"The Old King" (Hades)

Down in the dark where the lamplight dies

Coins on the eyes, no tears, no cries

The doors swing shut, you don't hear a sound

Hades keeps his kingdom underground

Call me Hades, the old king in the clay

Wealth in the shadows where the daylight won't stay

Gold on the table, but the cost is your song

You're mine in the silence, where the dead belong

The river runs black, and the ferryman rows

Nobody bargains, everyone knows

The deeper you fall, the harder you pay

The old king whispers, It's the only way

Call me Hades, the old king in the clay

Wealth in the shadows where the daylight won't stay

Gold on the table, but the cost is your song

You're mine in the silence, where the dead belong

Every jewel's a story buried in stone

Every coin's a promise carved in bone

I don't shout, I don't plead, I don't sing

I just wait in the dark - I'm the old king

Call me Hades, keeper of the crown

King of the silence, six feet down

Gold may glitter, but the night runs deep

In the arms of the old king, you sleep
