Nightingale's Lament - Persephone

Long, long time ago, I knew a kingdom

Where everything was made of glass

The palace, their dreams, their hearts

But the most amazing thing was a nightingale

Small and unimposing

She lived down by the river

Her voice was beguiling

The king heard of her wonderful voice

And invited the nightingale to sing in the palace

She sang, the king was moved to tears

So he wanted her to stay

and built a splendid cage for her

The cage was made of glass

The little bird sang and sang

But humans couldn't get enough

Her voice got weaker with each day

Sad were her songs
