Winterage Winterage - Orpheus and Eurydice

A lyrical supplication for an early broken string
Entices the abyss of damnation
The Furies cry first time like restless souls of Tartarus
The immortal coil awaits his freedom call

In the sacred forest
Where the golden branches gleamed
Her immense beauty flowed
Through my lyra to the the green
Poisonous demise
The serpent's wedding kiss
Could I ever live without
All her shades of shiny grace?
Rising back from Hades
On the wings of a love song
Her immense beauty is calling for my gaze
Oh, I need her glance again

The deal is made, bloodily signed
The price is tragically high
Ominous the Lord of the damned warned
Never look back at your fair bride
Or you shall lose her forever

In the sacred forest
Where the golden branches gleamed
Her immense beauty flowed
Through my lyra to the the green
Poisonous demise
The serpent's wedding kiss
Could I ever live without
All her shades of shiny grace?
Rising back from Hades
On the wings of a love song
Her immense beauty has called
A moth captured by the light, I can't resist

Eurydice
Oh, mio Orfeo
L'amor fa via
Alla luce risorgiam

Orpheus
L'ardor divampa per
Grazia divina
Ma il tuo volto deggio mirar!

Eurydice
No! Amor mio
Non volgerti a me
Alle arcane lande
Dolce il tuo desio fatal

Orpheus
O troppo amor
Oh, come duol
Il mio desio fatal

Ed ella, morendo per la seconda volta
Non si lamentò
E di che cosa avrebbe infatti fovuto lagnarsi
Se non d'essere troppo amata?
Pose al marito l'estremo addio
Che Orfeo a stento risuci ad afferrare
E piombò di nuovo nel luogo donde s'era mossa
Ovidio, Metamorfosi X, 61-63

Rising back from Hades
On the wings of a love song
Her immense beauty called me
But my gaze has been her doom
Poisonous demise
The serpent's wedding kiss
Could I ever live without
All her shades of shiny grace?

(Can't blame my love, my love)

Rising back from Hades
On the wings of a love song
Her immense beauty called me
Her soul never left the earth
Our woods the wisdom of us
Our muse inheritance of art!
