somber and steady king, Hades ruler of the Dead, to you I sing.
crowned in black roses dark and unseen with glittering jewels surrounding you, you sit at your throne.
heavy is the crown you wear, and yet you wear it with pride.
ruler of all those that pass through your loyal hound Cerberus, who guards the gates to the rich underworld, you take care of all the souls that come to you.
you who know our joys and griefs you watch over us in the afterlife and in life too.
grounded king, wealthy one, Hades the unseen one, to the glorious king that you are, I offer my praise.
