Am Em Heavy and hard is the heart of the king Am Em King of iron, king of steel Am Em The heart of the king loves everything Am D Am Like the hammer loves the nail C D But the heart of a man is a simple one C D Small and soft, flesh and blood C D And all that it loves is a woman C D a woman is all that it loves C D And Hades is King of the scythe and the sword C D He covers the world in the color of rust C D He scrapes the sky and scars the earth C D And he comes down heavy and hard on us C D But even that hardest of hearts unhardened C D Suddenly, when he saw her there C D Persephone in her mother’s garden C D Sun on her shoulders, wind in her hair C D The smell of the flowers she held in her hand C D And the pollen that fell from her fingertips C D And suddenly Hades was only a man C D With a taste of nectar upon his lips, singing: C D Em La la la la la la la… C D E La la la la la la la… oh singing C D Em La la la la la la la… C D La la la la la la Am Em And what has become of the heart of that man, Am Em Now that the man is King? Am Em What has become of the heart of that man, Am D Am Now that he has everything? C D The more he has, the more he holds, C D The greater the weight of the world on his shoulders C D See how he labors beneath that load C D Afraid to look up, and afraid to let go C D And he keeps his head low, and he keeps his back bending C D He grows so afraid that he'll lose what he owns C D But what he doesn't know is that what he's defending C D Is already gone C D Where is the treasure inside your chest? C D Where is your pleasure? Where is your youth? C D Where is the man with his hat in his hands? C Who stands in the garden with nothing to lose, singing: C D Em La la la la la la la… C D E La la la la la la la… oh singing C D Em La la la la la la la… C D E La la la la la la
