Lyrics

[Verse 1]

What is it?

Well, the good news is, he said that you can go

He did?

He did?

He did, there's bad news though

What is it?

You can walk, but it won't be like you planned

What do you mean?

Why not?

Well, you won't be hand in hand

You won't be arm in arm, side by side, and all of that

He said you have to walk in front, and she has to walk in back

Why?

And if you turn around to make sure she's coming too

Then she goes back to Hadestown and ain't nothing you can do

But why?

Why build walls, make folks walk single file?

Divide and conquer's what it's called

It's a trap

It's a trial

Do you trust each other?

Do you trust yourselves?

We do

Well, listen, brother

If you wanna walk out of hell

You're gonna have to prove it before gods and men

Can you do that?

We can

A'ight, time to go

Mr. Hermes?

Yes?

It's not a trick?

No, it's a test
