Don't Look Back Orpheus

This is the tragedy

Of the son of calliope

She taught him to sing and

Gave him golden guitar strings

Never was a sound so curious

Even the trees would follow orpheus

Even the furies were not furious

His heart only beat

For the nymph euridice

But on their wedding day

She stepped upon a deadly snake

He set off to the underworld alone

There he found hades sitting on his thrown

He said, 'there's just one way I'll let her go'

Never was a sound so curious

Even the hounds bowed down to orpheus

Hades laughed 'there's just one catch

Don't look back!'

But he couldn't resist

When he looked she turned to mist

Murmuring 'farewell…'

Forever she returned to hell
