Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[F]King of silver
[G]King of gold
And [F]everything glittering
[G]Under the ground
[F]Hades is king
[G]Of oil and coal
[F]And the riches that flo[G]w
Where those rivers are found
[F]But for half of the yea[G]r
with Persephone gone
[F]His loneliness mov[G]es in him,
crude and black
[F]He thinks of his wif[G]e
in the arms of the sun
[F]And jealousy [G]fuels him
[F]And feeds him[G] and fills him
[F]With doubt that she[G]'ll ever come
[F]Dread that she[G]'ll never come
[F]Doubt that his lover
[G]Will ever come back

[Verse 2]
[F]King of mortar
[G]King of bricks
[F]The River Styx is a riv[G]er of stones
[F]And Hades lays them hig[G]h and thick
[F]With a million hands
that are [G]not his own
[F]With a million hands, he bui[G]lds a wall
A[F]round all the riches he [G]digs from the Earth
[F]The pickaxe flashes
[G]The hammer falls
[F]And crashing and pou[G]nding
[F]His rivers surrou[G]nd him
[F]And drown out the[G] sound

[Bridge 1]
of the song he once heard
[F]La, la, la, [G]la, la, la, [Am]la
[F]La, la, la, [G]la, la, la, [A]la
[F]La, la, la, [G]la, la, la, [Am]la
[F]La, la, la, [G]la, la, la

[Outro 1]
[Dm][Am]
[Am][Am]
