Eurydice
Music and Lyrics: Edwin van Veldhoven
Sunny morning, bright blue sky.
Eurydice would die.
The young bride took a walk in her garden.
She saw flowers in the grass
and strayed from the path.
One step on a snake ended the lovely morning.
Eurydice, beyond the Styx,
in the darkness of eternity.
Oh, Eurydice, beyond the Styx,
how can I bring you back?
Back to reality.
Orpheus in the realm of shades,
looking for her face,
persuaded Hades, who released her on one condition.
Walking upwards back to life,
in front of his wife,
Orpheus looked back at her and she cried: 'Vale! Vale!'
Eurydice, beyond the Styx,
in the darkness of eternity.
Oh, Eurydice, beyond the Styx,
how can I bring you back?
Back to reality.
Eurydice, beyond the Styx,
in the darkness of eternity.
Oh, Eurydice, beyond the Styx,
how can I bring you back?
Oh, Eurydice, beyond the Styx,
in the darkness of eternity.
Oh, Eurydice, beyond the Styx,
I can't bring you back.
Back to reality.
