Don't Look Back Orpheus Lyrics & Chords By The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger

This is the tragedy
Of the son of Calliope
She taught him to sing and
Gave him golden guitar strings

Never was a sound so curious
Even the trees would follow Orpheus
Even the furies were not furious
Ahh

His heart only beat
For the nymph Eurydice
But on their wedding day
She stepped upon a deadly snake

He set off to the underworld alone
There he found Hades sitting on his throne
He said, "There's just one way I'll Let her go."
Ahh

Never was a sound so curious
Even the hounds bow down to Orpheus
Hades laughed, "There's just one catch.
Don't look back." Ahh

But he couldn't resist
When he looked, she turned to mist
Murmuring farewell
Forever, she returned to hell
