Winters In Hell

Yes mother, I'm aware. "Three headed dog's ahead, Beware!" Yes mother, I'll be back in summer (Unfortunately), Never want Gaea to freeze because of me. I- maybe I wanted this, mother, Goddess of vegetation, remember? I- maybe I knew about the "food rule" Or I maybe like the underworld better? But, mother- Cerberus loves me, Besides, it's Thanatos who kills. "Bringer of death" is the only one, Before whom the ruler kneels. It's not what you think it is Mother, maybe it's just- The half of it. I'm both Gaea and the great chaos mother, Spring in hell, is only the start of it. You'll see the gold dipped roses, If you just open your eyes mother. Now return the crocodile their tears, I'll get back from home in the summer.
