Orpheus Lyrics

My soul is wrought to sing of forms transformed

To bodies new and strange!

Immortal gods, inspire my heart

Oh lead my song in smooth and measured strains

From olden days when earth began

To this completed time!

Not even god Apollo could ever play

The three muses as once did Orpheus

For the bite of a snake he wrote his masterpiece

For his love he now lies on his grief

Nete, Mese, and Hypate woke him up

From your slumber down to the Underworld

Chords will light the path and tame the beast

Lord of the dead will hear you

Go! fool! go!

She's following my harp

Play! fool! play!

I'm not turning back

She! will! stay!

We will rejoice together

I! know! truth!

Come and hold my hand

The bloodless ghosts were in tears

Sisyphus sat on his rock for the

First time in years

Tantalus was permitted a couple of beers

Euridyce couldn't believe her ears

And she had to walk that gruesome path

While asking him to show his face

And he unsparingly played at his pace

Until he looked back

Go! fool! go!

She's following my harp

Play! fool! play!

I'm not turning back

She! will! stay!

We will rejoice together

I! know! truth!

Come and hold my hand

Just one chance to reach the Hades

Riding on the winds of music

To ask for the poisoned lifes

And never look behind

Come to me you mystic fairies

Com and eat this melody's flesh and bones

Come and give me on this night

The last chance to reach my love
