Mighty Hades, great lord of wealth and souls,
who dwells in the solemn depths of the earth.
In the subtle scent of funeral flowers,
in thin white gravestones with weathered markings,
in bittersweet thoughts of loved ones gone,
in these we feel your strength, honored Hades.
Hades, kind one who welcomes the dead,
holder of all precious metals and stones,
noble bridegroom of fair Persephone
we thank you for guarding those who have passed,
for comfort in pain, for memories dear.
Hades, great one, we praise and honor you.
