Epic III - Hadestown [INSTRUMENTAL]

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

Is this an older version?

Hello there! I saw your comment written here about overwhelming requests for sheet music and promises of compensation that went no where. I’m sorry that happened and I completely understand you being unable to keep up with it all. If it’s still the case that you don’t feel up to taking that risk with another person, please just take this as a gift to thank you for your gorgeous composition in this video. I will joyfully practice with it and I know singing along with this is already a great privilege. 😊 If by chance you have the time and desire to send me the sheet music, I hope this can help assure you that I’m serious about paying for it. I’ll send an email with the same address I use for this KZbin channel. Whatever your decision, thanks again and I hope everything has been going well for you!

Hi all. My email is not inactive, but I’ve received thousands of emails from every single one of you and I just can’t respond to them all. I’m doing this entirely for free, and mass sending things I worked weeks on to people who offer to pay me and then bail forever is exhausting : (
