Just a collection of lyrics from some of my favorite songs from Hadestown ! Change pronouns as you wish ! Insert muse names in the blanks !
“The ones who tell the lies are the solemnest to swear and the ones who load the dice always say the toss is fair.”
“I believe our answer matters more than anything they say.”
“I believe if there is still a will, then there is still a way.”
“I believe that we are many; I believe that they are few, and it isn’t for the few to tell the many what is true.”
“She/He/They have the kind of love for her/him/them that you and I once had.”
“The girl/boy/person means nothing to me.”
“Nothing comes of wishing on stars.”
“Nothing comes of the songs people sing, how ever sorry they are.”
“Give them a piece and they’ll take it all.”
“Show them a crack, and they’ll tear down the wall.”
“Lend them an ear, and the kingdom will fall.”
“What does he/she/they care for the logic of kings?”
“You and your pity don’t fit in my bed.”
“If we’re free, tell me why can’t I look my brother in the eye?”
“Guess you don’t scare easy, do ya?”
“It takes more than singin’ songs to keep a woman/man/person in your arms.”
“If you wanna hold a woman/man/person, hang a chain around her/his/their throat, made of many carat gold -- shackle her/him/them from wrist to wrist with sterling silver bracelets.”
“If I raise my voice -- if I raise my head, could I change my fate?”
“Why do we turn away instead of standing with him/her/them?”
“I have no ring for your finger. I have no banquet table to lay. I have no bed of feathers -- whatever promises I made.”
“I can’t promise you fair sky above -- can’t promise you kind road below, but I’ll walk beside you love, any way the wind blows.”
“I don’t need gold -- don’t need silver, just bread when I’m hungry, fire when I’m cold. Don’t need a ring for my finger, just need a steady hand to hold.”
“Don’t promise me fair sky above -- don’t promise me kind road below; just walk beside me, love, any way the wind blows.”
“I don’t know where this road will end, but I’ll walk it with you hand in hand.”
“Who do I think I am? Who am I to think that she/he/they would follow me into the cold and dark again?”
‘___, are you listening? I am right here, and I will be till the end.”
“The coldest night of the coldest year comes right before the spring.”
“___, you are not alone. I am right behind you, and I have been all along.”
“The darkest hour of the darkest night comes right before the dawn.”
