Hades & Persephone — Crowned In The Dark

I bloomed in sunlight, fed by spring
But I heard your footsteps echoing
You came like thunder, quiet and low
And somehow, my roots chose to grow

They call me shadow, they fear my name
But I saw a fire behind your flame
You weren't made for empty skies
You carry storms inside your eyes

They said you stole me from the light
But I walked into your endless night
I was more than petals on a throne
I found my power carved in stone

This isn't love like stories tell
This is where angels come to dwell
We don't break, we burn, we bind
Two forces never meant to find

I was crowned in the dark
Where no light dared to spark
He took my hand, and I took the flame
Now they'll never speak my name the same
I am the Queen, he is the gate
Together we bend the hands of fate

I didn't steal - I recognized
You weren't the lamb, you were the knife
They see you soft, I see you fire
And all I want is to rise higher
...with you

You never asked, but you saw me whole
Not as a girl - but as a soul
And in your silence, cold and wide
I heard my own dark heart reply

Not stolen
Not broken
Chosen
Reborn
Not love
...something more

I was crowned in the dark
Where endings tear the world apart
He gave me roots beneath the dead
And I gave life where none had bled
Not heaven, not earth, not pain, not peace
We are the hunger that never ceased

And I do not miss the light
It never saw me right
