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
