[Intro]
[Verse]
Kicking and screaming,
She was dragged off to hell
Her mother helpless,
Only able to yell
Persephone's marriage,
Was written in the grain
Her hand held by Hades,
Loving her as she reigned
[Pre Chorus]
Ruling her dominion,
From the throne she was crowned
Forced to serve as the queen,
Of the underworld now
[Chorus]
The Reluctant Ruler,
Accepting the fire
Growing into her place,
Given by the sire
Sitting at her throne,
Ruling with an iron fist
The powerful queen,
A lady of righteousness
[Verse]
Accepting her fate,
She remains the pyre
Tolerating him,
The queen will not tire
Persuading Hades
Persephone wants the best,
For the dead to give them rest
[Pre Chorus]
Ruling her dominion,
From the throne she was crowned
Forced to serve as the queen,
Of the underworld now
[Chorus]
The Reluctant Ruler,
Accepting the fire
Growing into her place,
Given by the sire
Sitting at her throne,
Ruling with an iron fist
The powerful queen,
A lady of righteousness
[Bridge]
Influencing Hades,
To take pity on her
Changing up the season,
So she can see her mother
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre Chorus]
Ruling her dominion,
From the throne she was crowned
Forced to serve as the queen,
Of the underworld now
[Final Chorus]
The Reluctant Ruler,
Accepting the fire
Growing into her place,
Given by the sire
Sitting at her throne,
Ruling with an iron fist
The powerful queen,
A lady of righteousness
The Reluctant Ruler,
Accepting the fire
Growing into her place,
Given by the sire
Sitting at her throne,
Ruling with an iron fist
The powerful queen,
A lady of righteousness
Reluctant Ruler
Reluctant Ruler
