Haunted Gods - Orpheus

My soul is wrought to sing of forms transformed
To bodies new and strange!
Immortal gods, inspire my heart
Oh lead my song in smooth and measured strains
From olden days when earth began
To this completed time!
Not even god Apollo could ever play
The three muses as once did Orpheus
For the bite of a snake he wrote his masterpiece
For his love he now lies on his grief
Nete, Mese, and Hypate woke him up
From your slumber down to the Underworld
Chords will light the path and tame the beast
Lord of the dead will hear you
Go! fool! go!
She's following my harp
Play! fool! play!
I'm not turning back
She! will! stay!
We will rejoice together
I! know! truth!
Come and hold my hand
The bloodless ghosts were in tears
Sisyphus sat on his rock for the
First time in years
Tantalus was permitted a couple of beers
Euridyce couldn't believe her ears
And she had to walk that gruesome path
While asking him to show his face
And he unsparingly played at his pace
Until he looked back
Go! fool! go!
She's following my harp
Play! fool! play!
I'm not turning back
She! will! stay!
We will rejoice together
I! know! truth!
Come and hold my hand
Just one chance to reach the Hades
Riding on the winds of music
To ask for the poisoned lifes
And never look behind
Come to me you mystic fairies
Com and eat this melody's flesh and bones
Come and give me on this night
The last chance to reach my love
