Monologue For Zeeus

[ZEUS]
Why can’t you stay calm, for once! Instead of flying off away!

I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you've
Left the farms forever
I hope you think you're clever

[DEMETER]
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy too
I hope you're proud how you could
Grovel in submission
For our Cora abduction

[ZEUS and DEMETER]
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy
Right now

[ZEUS]
Ceres, listen to me. Just stay calm!
You can still be with our girl
Whom you've loved and cared for
You can have all you ever wanted -

[DEMETER]
Something’s been taken from me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by
The rules of someone else’s game
Too late for coming back
Too late to get what’s lost
It's time to
trust my instincts
Close my eyes
And leave...
It's time to try defying agony
I think I'll try defying agony
And you can't pull me down

[ZEUS]
Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of Hades?

[DEMETER]
I'm through accepting limits
Cuz you says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing her, I guess I've lost
Well if that's loss
It comes at much too low a cost
I'd sooner buy defying agony
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying agony
And you can't pull me down!

[ZEUS]
Ceres, come with me. Think of what we could do -together!

(Gasp) Idea
I have an idea

[DEMETER]
What?!?!

[ZEUS]
We can still be with our Cora,
But just for six whole months
But for the rest of the time
She has to live in the underworld.
Please, stay back.

(DEMETER NODS)
There, she is coming.

[ZEUS]
I hope you're happy
I hope you’re happy now that you’re choosing this -

[DEMETER]
You too--
I hope it brings us bliss

[ZEUS and DEMETER]
I really hope you mean it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy my mate

[DEMETER]
But don’t try to find me
Up in a frosty sky
As you told me lately
Persephone would be in the underworld
And since we will be separate
There will be no bright shades
But, to those who oppose me
Take a message back from me!

Tell them how I had defied agony
I'm soaring high, defying agony
And soon I'll match him in renown
And nobody in all the worlds
No deity that there is or was
Is ever gonna take me down!!

Take me down!

Ahhhh!!!!!
