I have failed you once more.
I've lost my wondrous Nymph.
A tragedy  like those of yore.
If only I hadn't stolen that glimpse.

Summer and Death had warned me not to look back.
Not to give into temptation.
But now I see it was courage that I lack.
Awash in trepidation.

I stole a glance before you reached the gates.
I lost the light of my Apollo
Why did I think to tempt the fates.
To find a future that is so hollow.

Oh Eurydice,  Oh Eurydice,
My love you have gone where I cannot follow.
I've lost my love, my life, my muse, my vice.
These tears I can no longer swallow.
My blood it runs as cold as ice.
And in despair I am want to wallow.

One simple mistake took you from me twice.
And you will not be there with me to greet the sun tomorrow.
Oh how I miss you sweet Eurydice.
For you my love, I'll try to not live in sorrow.
