tristan gianelli – orpheus (death of eurydice) كلمات اغاني

oh, my dear eurydice
look at what’s become of me
this dreaded lyre’s all i’ve got
yet my playing‘s all for naught
i can make all of nature jive
yet i could not keep you alive
i cannot play away my grief
this rue, my lyre cannot cease

my dear
eurydice

of course, upon our wedding day
the satyr had chased you away
just when you thought you were free
fate decides to intervene
you had tread upon the snake
your skin its fangs destined to break
i played a song and said goodbye
so sorrowful the gods all cried

my dear
eurydice

at that moment i heard a voice
“orpheus, we’ve heard your pleas
we shall offer you a choice
make the trek down to hades
speak with him and play your lyre
among the d-mned and the h-llfire
you shall make a deal quite dire
you can trust him, he’s no liar
but don’t let it
backfire
don’t let it
backfire
don’t let it
backfire
don’t let it
backfire”

a winged messenger appears to me
to the underworld, he says, he’ll lead
he waves his hand and the wind blows
he grabs my arm and off we go
we land at the river acheron
where i find ferryman charon
i play another tune on my lyre
he brings me just where i desire
to the gates guarded by cerberus
his three heads looking murderous
i soothe him with a lullaby
i softly tiptoe right by

now i’m in, must find him

and there he was, with hair of flames
for him i play a hymn of dismay
he says to me, “my heart you’ve swayed
i’ll give you a little leeway
lead her along the pathway
upon which you must not stray
must look straight, don’t turn away
don’t look back or she will pay.”

“i thought i never would see you,”
she says to me as we walk through
i tell her “i thought you were gone”
she says “i thought i was too”
“oh, my dear, eurydice
look at what’s become of me
now we’ve almost made it out”
i told her as i turned around

oh, dear, please
forgive me
i looked back
right at thee

now you’re gone
for all time
all my fault
spare my crime

oh, dear, please
forgive me
i looked back
right at thee
