Orpheus lyrics

The viper's bite took her from the living, Eurydice Your lover will find you even in death Descending through the mire into Hades realm His music charms the devil himself Give her back, let her return with me, give her back to me! The lord of hell released her Orpheus' song softened his heart But he warned him "Oh, do not look back until you're both free." Rising up from the depths of hell Her lover turns around Despair She slips back to death Never again to see her, Orpheus returns alone The temptation he could nor resist, now he weeps The lyre that won her freedom hangs limp in his hand She is lost forever in Hades' land
