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 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 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
