Cleaved open the earth
The cursed chariot appears
Pale chthonic maiden
Head bowed to pluck the narcissus
Descent into the Underworld
Swallow her whole
Dromeda, Deknuma, Legomena
The famine spreads, a curse upon the land
A mother’s fruitless search
Cries in mourning
Nymphs weep in unison
Hecate to show the way
‘Twas he who receives many guests
The one known by many names
Only dead for company
Imprisoned against will
I kathodos, i anazitisi, i anodos
A mother’s lament
Mysteries of Elysium
Open the Kiste & Calatus
Call upon the father
Pass fair judgement upon thee
Summon from the depths
Pale chthonic maiden to ascend once again
Hearts take relief in shared grief
Wrest from her arms anew they suffer
Maiden, mother, crone
Demeter’s anguish
His denigration of her despair
Swallow indignation
Rage of the reprehensible circumstance
The red jewel fruit has been consumed
A curse to return once again
Blood of the Adonis
Queen of Spring and Queen of Hell
