Eurydice's Song

Don't look back
Whatever you do
Don't look back
know she's behind you

Standing before a god,
plying my trade;
her life in the balance,
A simple song I played.
His eyes teared up,
a river on his cheek.
Now he knows humanity
so frail, so weak.

Don't look back
whatever you do
Don't look back
know she's behind you

He released her from
the chains that bind
saying, "Be on your way,
but don't look behind."
The path is dark,
hear her feet on the stone?
Pining to see her;
so close, so alone.

Don't look back
whatever you do
Don't look back
know she's behind you

A light shines ahead
this journey almost complete.
Exit the underworld together
and blissfully fall at her feet.
The sun touches my flesh,
my immortal soul aches,
temptation overwhelming;
I turn and my heart breaks.

Don't look back
he told you no to
Don't look back
whatever you do

For a second I see her
in mourning clothes clad,
her heel still in shadow;
so beautiful, so sad.
And she melts away,
his forever to keep;
taken back to the dark
while desparatly, I weep.

Don't look back
he told you no to
Don't look back
whatever you do

She disappears, fades away;
I continue to weep.
Taken back to the dark,
cross the waters so deep.
With lyre in hand
I sing this simple song
for the woman I lost;
for whom I still long.
