Her Majesty Cry
so - I'm thinking of writing a whole album based on Greek and Roman historical events and myths...here is the first one - the ballad of Orpheus and Euridice:

Don’t turn back…
Listened to every word he said
Then I let him get inside my head
Told me to trust him when he was dead
Don’t turn back
We both planned to keep our bargain’s side
Crossing over the great divide
He treated me like I was surprisingly alive
Don’t turn back
When I went back to look for you
They told me all I had to do was sing a song or two
Saw that it was do or die figured that I had to try to make
Her Majesty Cry
Don’t turn back
Couldn’t see the flowers in your hair
Couldn’t smell your perfume in the air
Didn’t know who to trust that you were even there
Don’t turn back
Should’ve had faith in the final hour
Should’ve had time to learn what I should have known
Should’ve had trust cradled like a flower
An impatient to call my very own
Could almost feel the warmth of spring
How I wanted to tell you everything
Make the fields and the mountains sing
Don’t turn back
I turned around and you were gone
Thought that I waited far too long
I guess once again I was wrong
Don’t turn back
When I went back to look for you
Told me all I had to do was sing a song or two
Saw that it was do or die figured that I had to try to make
Her Majesty Cry
