Have you seen the musical Hadestown? YOU MUST if you haven’t. It’s a modern mashup of the myths of Persephone and Orpheus. The music is exquisite. There is a song Hades and his chorus of souls sings called Why We Build the Wall (debuted in 2010!!!). So so prescient and eerie. I got chills up my spine when I learned the writer wrote it before TFG burst on the scene.

Why do we build the wall?

My children, my children

Why do we build the wall?

Why do we build the wall?

We build the wall to keep us free

That's why we build the wall

We build the wall to keep us free

How does the wall keep us free?

My children, my children

How does the wall keep us free?

How does the wall keep us free?

The wall keeps out the enemy

And we build the wall to keep us free

That's why we build the wall

We build the wall to keep us free
