Throne Beneath the Earth

Описание: A song about Hades being power hungry in the Underworld to start the Hades game trilogy. I phrase it that way because Hades is more of the Steward of the Underworld rather than the Ruler. I am most likely going to a Mythology series at some point because I have always been obsessed with Mythology of each region.

Stone seals crack under pressure
Iron breath in the ground
Every step pulls the ceiling lower
Hear the weight make a sound

Names carved deep into columns
Debts stacked bone on bone
I keep count with a steady hand
Every crown finds its owner
Keys hang cold on my side
No plea survives this border

You can pound on the gates till your knuckles split
The ground won’t move for a borrowed myth
I don’t bargain, I don’t forget
I collect

Bow to the throne beneath the earth
I decide what a life is worth
No sun reaches what I rule
Every step here follows my rule
Bow to the throne beneath the earth
Weight of truth makes liars hurt
When the doors close, learn the terms
This is where the balance turns

Gold tongues rot in the open
Promises rust on the floor
I’ve seen heroes beg for minutes
Then crawl for one second more
Rivers keep perfect records
Every oath left unpaid
I don’t need eyes to know your face
I know the price you made
I know the price you made

You can scream at the stone all night
The stone won’t bend to noise or spite
I don’t flinch, I don’t repent
I cement

Bow to the throne beneath the earth
I decide what a life is worth
No sun reaches what I rule
Every step here follows my rule
Bow to the throne beneath the earth
Weight of truth makes liars hurt
When the doors close, learn the terms
This is where the balance turns

Count it
Name it
Pay it

Steps align, the ledger’s straight
No escape, you meet the weight

Bow to the throne beneath the earth
I decide what a life is worth
No sun reaches what I rule
Every step here follows my rule
Bow to the throne beneath the earth
Weight of truth makes liars hurt
When the doors close, learn the terms
This is where the balance turns

Judgment stands when breath is gone
I remain when you move on
