In the kingdom of the damned resides a man with ruthless ambition,
Greedy beyond imagining, looking to expand,
Place a coin upon her lips so she can make the awful journey,
Place a coin upon his lips so he can join her there,
In the palace of the damned,
Hades waits with open arms for those who hate,
Looking to increase the number of souls that dine in his walls,
They are all made to feel grateful,
When they can't leave of their own accord,
Trapped forevermore,
Between the Cocytus and the Styxx is where he resides,
Looking to further his might,
In the kingdom of the damned there rules a man,
With ruthless ambition, greedy beyond belief,
Place a coin upon her lips,
So she can make the passage into the underworld,
Where she'll face judgement from the Triumvirate,
She's praying for the Elysium Fields,
When they pass their sentence, decide her fate.
