ORPHEUS:
C majorC D MajorD
King of diamonds, king of spades!
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Hades was king of the kingdom of dirt
C majorC D MajorD
Miners of mines, diggers of graves
C majorC G+G D MajorD
They bowed down to Hades who gave them work
C majorC D MajorD
And they bowed down to Hades who made them sweat
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Who paid them their wages and set them about
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Digging and dredging and dragging the depths
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Of the earth to turn its insides out, singing

Verse:
C majorC D MajorD
King of mortar, king of bricks
C majorC D MajorD
The River Styx was a river of stones
C majorC D MajorD
And Hades laid them high and thick
C majorC G+G D MajorD
With a million hands that were not his own
C majorC D MajorD
And a million feet that fell in line
C majorC D MajorD
And stepped in time with Hades' step
C majorC D MajorD
And a million minds that were just one mind
C majorC D MajorD
Like stones in a row
C majorC D MajorD
And stone by stone
C majorC D MajorD
And row by row
D MajorD
The River rose up, singing
