"Wait For Me (Reprise) ("If You Wanna Walk Out Of Hell...") [Intro]" lyrics - ANAIS MITCHELL
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
What is it?
[HERMES, spoken]
Well, the good news is, he said that you can go
[ORPHEUS and EURYDICE, spoken]
He did?
[WORKERS, spoken]
He did?
[HERMES, spoken]
He did, but there's bad news though
[EURYDICE, spoken]
What is it?
[HERMES, spoken]
You can walk, but it won't be like you planned
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
What do you mean?
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Why not?
[HERMES, spoken]
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
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Why?
[HERMES, spoken]
And if you turn around to make sure she's coming too
Then she goes back to Hadestown
And there ain't nothing you can do
[EURYDICE, spoken]
But why?
[HERMES, spoken]
Why build walls, make folks walk single file
Divide and conquer's what it's called
[ORPHEUS]
It's a trap
[HERMES, spoken]
It's a trial
Do you trust each other?
Do you trust yourselves?
[ORPHEUS and EURYDICE, spoken]
We do
[HERMES, spoken]
Well listen, brother
If you want to walk out of hell
You're gonna have to prove it before gods and men
Can you do that?
[ORPHEUS and EURYDICE, spoken]
We can
[HERMES, spoken]
A'ight, time to go!
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Mr. Hermes?
[HERMES, spoken]
Yes?
[ORPHEUS]
It's not a trick?
[HERMES, spoken]
No, it's a test
