Aftermath Of Betrayal Lyrics - Hades

[ACT I] 

Once past twelve sounds a bell 

'Tis bitter cold at Elsinore 

Three Danes await and watch the night 

For the late king Hamlet's spectral sight 

It comes again in warlike form 

This spirit of health beckons his son 

Father, king, royal Dane? 

Tell me the reason why you came 

I am the spirit of the king 

I walk the night and burn by day 

"Till the foul crimes done in my days 

Of nature are burnt and purged away" 

A serpents sting took my life 

Now wears my crown and wed my wife 

Avenge my death, remember me 

Hamlet my son, kill the king! 

[ACTS II and III] 

A noble mind overthrown 

Seized with madness 

Dethrone! 

Somewhat deceptive 

To masque his designs 

The prince will reap his vengeance in time 

His lady love doth think him mad 

Lord Chamberlain warns 

Stay away! 

The actors come hither 

Presenting a play 

Hamlet's intentions are underway 

He has caught the conscience of the king 

Railed the queen 

Thought Claudius slain 

Instead lay dead 

The fool Chamberlain 

Banished; to England Hamlet is sent 

[ACT IV] 

The sails were set for their destruction 

Twice fell the night their ship is attacked 

Death has strayed from his path to claim sweet Ophelia 

The prince now returns enraged with wrath 

He falls upon innocence returning to dust 

Swears he laertes, Hamlet must 

Pay for all grievances put on his house 

Conspiracy lingers, the duel; a trap 

To be continued...
