You saw it as I did, clear as day: Orpheus, with his heart on display Raising his golden voice as if to pray That Hades would not make his lover stay.
I saw it as you did, on that stage, Eurydice opposing Hades' rage, Rallying the dead-eyed workers to engage, A songbird trying to break free from her cage.
We watched it unfold before our eyes: Hades penned that fateful compromise, Persephone, her arms raised to the skies, Hermes already fearing their demise.
And in those final moments, I was sure As lovers faced each other on death's door And went their separate ways to love no more That I'd never loved you so much before.
