Lyrics:

9. Quest For Hades
Hear now the tale of an ancient girl
Who would die the most gruesome death
As she set out to venture the world
On a foolish and dangerous quest
She walked alone, bound by her word
To the boy who had died in her arms
That she would bring back from Hades his soul
So that he might live to grow old
The girl travelled far, into the west
For the rumours that she had heard
Spoke of a lake on a mountain crest
Which led straight to the bowels of the earth
The journey went on for countless days
'Til at last, she had reached her goal
Then she plunged into the infernal waves
And a chill went through her soul
The girl looked around and cowered in fear
Because of the horror she beheld
Thousands of corpses were floating near
Rotting away with a putrid smell
Her senses gone numb, the girl thought she saw
A face watching her with lifeless eyes
As she kept staring in terrified awe
Something below dragged her down from the light
Down
Down
Down below
Down
Down
Down
Down
Down
Down throught the mud, and further still
She was descending like a rock
The girl thought she had only moments to live
When all of a sudden, a cave opened up
Now she could breath, what good did it do
She was surrounded by nightmares
Demons were frolicking all around
Seeming to be in some kind of trance
Dance
Dance
How they danced
Spinning around
Dance of the dead
Then he came out of the shadows
The lord of the underworld
And he strode through the hall
While addressing the girl
So you think you've come for Hades
To bring back a soul
But that place is no more than myth
That boy will never grow old
Then, the girl despaired
She looked to leave the cave
The lord told her, there's no way out
But you're more than welcome to stay
Suddenly, something happened within her soul
It wanted to leave her body
You are mine, declared the lord
Let it go, surrender
Sing out your soul to me
And so, she sang
The girl spun around, losing control
She felt weightless, just like air
Then she was floating across the hall
Headed straight for the master's chair
Such was the end of her life
Her soul was consumed by the lord of the dead
Thus would her body stay out of the light
Dancing as one of the demons instead
Dead
Dead
Stone cold dead
Dead
Dead
Dead
Dead
