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 Eurydice 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 throne He said, "There's just one way to Let her go." Never was a sound so curious Even the hounds bow down to Orpheus Hades laughed, "There's just one catch; Don't look back." But he couldn't resist When looked, she turned to mist Murmuring farewell Forever, she returned to hell
