ORPHEUS
2
King of diamonds, king of spades!
3
Hades was king of the kingdom of dirt
4

8
Digging and dredging and dragging the depths
9
Of the earth to turn its insides out, singing
10
La la la la la la la...
11
King of mortar, king of bricks
12
The River Styx was a river of stones

And a million feet that fell in line
16
And stepped in time with Hades? step
17
And a million minds that were just one mind
18
Like stones in a row
19
And stone by stone
20
And row by row
21
The River rose up, singing
22
La la la la la la la...
