ORPHEUS Lyrics by PEGGY
The fates are poised to strike
There’s nothing fair or right
About a love that ends in loss despite its light
Pure in its intent, smothered out of spite
Close enough to hold but entirely out of sight
Nothing he could do
To unravel fate
When his eyes met hers
He was far too late
Don’t look back, Orpheus
You’ll only make it worse
Another Greek tragedy
That cannot be reversed
Don’t look back, Orpheus
She’s standing at your heels
Eurydice, oh, can’t you see?
What you hear isn’t real
