ORPHEUS Songtext
von 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
Eurydice, oh, can't you see? What you hear isn′t real

Ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh


And Orpheus, he sang, but it was not enough
Fought his way through hell just to find his love
Your growing fear and doubt too much for you to stand
Why attempt to deal with gods when you're just a man

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

Ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh

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
Eurydice, oh, can′t you see? What you hear isn't real
