She took the apple bright and sweet,
Drank its juices, ate its meat.
And crossed her arms so pale and small,
and in to a cursed trance did fall.
.....................................................
Is it true? Is it really you?
Oh my joints are stiff and my bones are sore-
I've been lying here, feels like for a century or more.
And darling, how your hair's turned grey!
And darling, how your fingers are gnarled and worn!
Oh my love, is this what I've been waiting for?
I've dreamed the sweetest dream,
I've slept under the coolest greens,
and animals did comb my hair
and keep watch lest there were danger near.
Tell me, what's the world in store?
Did you find what you went searching for?
I couldn't bare to sit and wait for you.
A hearth, it ain't a home, when there's just one not two.
But darling, why'd you breath so silently?
Why're your old eyes staring blank at me?
(Sha-la-la.....la-la-la-la-la-la...)

Eurydice's Lament

Come near.... my darling, dear.
I am rapt in the darkness...
Feels like years I've been waiting here; held here.
And hark! Here you wade!
And your zither doth sway
the stone-cold heart
of this Prince of The Dark.
O Orpheu! I will follow you...
O Orpheu! I will follow you...
