Mitchell: Epic II |
King of diamonds, king of spades |
Hades was king of the kingdom of dirt |
Miners of mines, diggers of graves |
They bowed down to Hades who gave them work |
And they bowed down to Hades who made them sweat |
Who paid them their wages and set them about |
Digging and dredging and dragging the depths |
Of the earth to turn its insides out, singing |
La la la la la la la… |
King of mortar, king of bricks |
The River Styx was a river of stones |
And Hades laid them high and thick |
With a million hands that were not his own |
And a million feet that fell in line |
And stepped in time with Hades' step |
And a million minds that were just one mind |
Like stones in a row |
Stone by stone |
Row by row |
The river rose up, singing |
La la la la la la la… |
