So! This is a little bit different from my "normal" uploads. The quality is MUCH better, for one. I know I said I would upload this song in a week when i last uploaded about a month ago, but I've been busy. 
This was my performance of this song at my friend Jared's Eagle Scout project, where he put on a community music concert. I'd just like to thank him for letting me perform and I'd like to thank my friend Isabella and her dad for giving me this recording :)
Like Siren's Song, this is based in Greek mythology. I wrote it from Hades' perspective as he waits through the spring and summer months for Persephone to return to the Underworld. Thank you so much for watching this and I hope you enjoy!

LYRICS:
Everybody waits 
for spring to have sprung
everyone but him
for now he's the lonely one

A king without his queen
how saddening the scene
he sighs and hangs his head
and all the while he says,

"Persephone, come back to me, 
I know that there are rules
but I need you here
to wipe away my tears.
Persephone, I need you, see?
My love makes me a fool.
I can't wait for winter's chill
Every moment without you kills."

Through the summer months
his heart aches for fall.
As mortals sing above,
he's jealous of them all.

A king without his queen, 
how saddening the scene.
He sighs and hangs his head,
and all the while he says,

"Persephone, come back to me, 
I know that there are rules
but I need you here
to wipe away my tears.
Persephone, I need you, see?
My love makes me a fool.
I can't wait for winter's chill
Every moment without you kills.


I just want to know, 
do you miss me when
you're looking at the sky?
I just need to know,
do you think of me 
with every sunny day that goes by?
The flowers are in bloom,
but my heart starts to wither.
With every passing day I say
'How I wish I was with her, with her!'

Persephone, come back to me, 
I know that there are rules
but I need you here
to wipe away my tears.
Persephone, I need you, see?
My love makes me a fool.
I can't wait for winter's chill
Every moment without you kills."
