Hades - Aftermath Of Betrayal lyrics
The tragedy of Hamlet (Inspired by the play by William Shakespeare)
 Lyrics and Music: Schulman
 ACT I
 (Ed solo)
 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 designsHades - Aftermath Of Betrayal - http://motolyrics.com/hades/aftermath-of-betrayal-lyrics.html
 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
 (Ed, Dan solo)
 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
 (Ed solo)
 To be continued...
