"ORPHEUS" lyrics
The fates are poised to strike
There's nothing fair or right
About a love that ends in loss despite its light
Pure in its intent, smothered out of spite
Close enough to hold but entirely out of sight
Nothing he could do to unravel fate
When his eyes met hers, he was far too late
Don't look back, Orpheus, you'll only make it worse
Another Greek tragedy that cannot be reversed
Don't look back, Orpheus, she's standing at your heels
Eurydice, oh, can't you see what you hear isn't real
Eurydice, oh, can't you see what you hear isn't real
And Orpheus, he sang, but it was not enough
Fought his way through hell just to find his love
Your growing fear and doubt too much for you to stand
Why attempt to deal with gods when you're just a man
Nothing he could do to unravel fate
When his eyes met hers, he was far too late
Don't look back, Orpheus, you'll only make it worse
Another Greek tragedy that cannot be reversed
Don't look back, Orpheus, she's standing at your heels
Eurydice, oh, can't you see what you hear isn't real
Don't look back, Orpheus, you'll only make it worse
Another Greek tragedy that cannot be reversed
Don't look back, Orpheus, she's standing at your heels
Eurydice, oh, can't you see what you hear isn't real
Eurydice, oh, can't you see what you hear isn't real
There's nothing fair or right
About a love that ends in loss despite its light
Pure in its intent, smothered out of spite
Close enough to hold but entirely out of sight
Nothing he could do to unravel fate
When his eyes met hers, he was far too late
Don't look back, Orpheus, you'll only make it worse
Another Greek tragedy that cannot be reversed
Don't look back, Orpheus, she's standing at your heels
Eurydice, oh, can't you see what you hear isn't real
Eurydice, oh, can't you see what you hear isn't real
And Orpheus, he sang, but it was not enough
Fought his way through hell just to find his love
Your growing fear and doubt too much for you to stand
Why attempt to deal with gods when you're just a man
Nothing he could do to unravel fate
When his eyes met hers, he was far too late
Don't look back, Orpheus, you'll only make it worse
Another Greek tragedy that cannot be reversed
Don't look back, Orpheus, she's standing at your heels
Eurydice, oh, can't you see what you hear isn't real
Don't look back, Orpheus, you'll only make it worse
Another Greek tragedy that cannot be reversed
Don't look back, Orpheus, she's standing at your heels
Eurydice, oh, can't you see what you hear isn't real
Eurydice, oh, can't you see what you hear isn't real
