Apollo taught me to
play the lyre
Instilled in me his
celestial fire
My music had charmed
the gods and men
When Eurydice fell in
the vipers den
My love gone into the
underworld alone
Her loss forever I
will mourn
No solace to warm my
broken heart
No music or joys their
blessings impart
I journey to her,
defying fate
With the gods of death
I have a date
Though Hades mournful
let’s me go
I chose to stay and
nurse my woe
Those beats were the
last my heart endured
With my last gasps my
soul was cured
No miracle can restore
a beat to a quivering heart
Now I must this world
depart
Embrace my loss and
join the dead
With a laurel wreath
on my head
Apollo was kind, Hades
too
I would be dead if not
for you
Your love wrenched me
from my despair
It was a miracle not a
trivial affair
You lamented and cried
awhile
When my eyes closed
your smile
Was the last I saw,
the Sun
The stars and the moon
are now just one
My love, we will meet
again
Forgive the sorrow and
unbearable pain
I did not mean to
cause you harm
I wanted to live, hold
you in my arm
Alas, it’s time to say
goodbye
This heart cannot
mend, it must die
