Persephone Wears the Crown

V6

[Intro - Sub-bass, distant pulse] They remember the girl taken below. Remember who came back crowned. [Beat Drops] [Verse 1] Daughter of harvest. Flowers in hand. The earth opened black through the sunlit land. Hades took the maiden. The dark crowned the queen. Now every root runs under me. [Instrumental - Deep bass groove] [Pre-Chorus] One taste of red. The seasons were sworn. I rise from the dark. The green is reborn. [Chorus] Persephone. Pomegranate red. Spring for the living. Queen of the dead. Bury me deep. Watch me grow. I bloom above. I reign below. [Bass Drop / Heavy Guitar] [Verse 2] Demeter’s daughter. Hades’ queen. Life in the root. Sleep in the seed. I leave, and the fields forget how to breathe. I rise, and the earth comes back with me. [Instrumental - 808s, dark guitar motif] [Pre-Chorus] One taste of red. The seasons were sworn. I rise from the dark. The green is reborn. [Chorus] Persephone. Pomegranate red. Spring for the living. Queen of the dead. Bury me deep. Watch me grow. I bloom above. I reign below. [Bridge - Close, controlled vocal] A maiden descended. A sovereign arose. Winter behind me. Spring where I go. No longer the flower torn from the ground. The underworld knows who wears the crown. [Bass-and-Drum Breakdown - Thunderous toms, distorted 808s] [Beat Drops Out] Down as a maiden. [Full Band Slam] Rise as a queen. [Final Chorus] Persephone. Pomegranate red. Spring for the living. Queen of the dead. Bury me deep. Watch me grow. I bloom above. I reign below. Persephone. Pomegranate red. Spring for the living. Queen of the dead. [Extended Instrumental - Heavy bass, drums and guitar] [Outro - Sub-bass fading] They remember the girl taken below. Now remember who wears the crown.
