“Get in line now, don’t dawdle!” Comes the serious sounding voice It’s the god of the underworld making sure The spirits don’t make any noise
Hades the god of the underworld Likes his land to be quiet and dark Cerebrus, his three-headed dog agrees With three separate growls and one bark
Hades which means “the unseen one” Has a power no other god shares His Helmet of Darkness makes him invisible He can pounce on anyone anywhere
Prayers and sacrifices do very little This mighty god is not swayed If someone enters the spirit world Then that is where they will stay
The bad spirits are punished by him They carry big stones on their heads The good ones get to swim in the Styx And float back into comfy beds
Hades loves just one person most Persephone his wife He kidnapped her while she picked flowers And now lives by his side
You can sometimes hear the rustle Of Hades and his three-headed dog Roaming around on a still night When darkness cloaks the world.
