Burdened by her memory Tortured by the ghost of his former Whips and ropes Beaten and restrained He welcomes the punishment She leaves him in the spring For him the winter never ends Even as the seasons come and go One day he'll learn Obligation is her errand Her love remains in the seed It never blooms until she's gone One day he hopes to take it in Even the lost need flowers

Persephone
Burdened by her memory Tortured by the ghost of his former Whips and ropes Beaten and restrained He welcomes the punishment She leaves him in the spring For him the winter never ends Even as the seasons come and go One day he'll learn Obligation is her errand Her love remains in the seed It never blooms until she's gone One day he hopes to take it in Even the lost need flowers
