Through the Stygian lands,
Orpheus played his sweet lyre,
His heart filled with hope.

Eurydice's voice,
Echoed through the halls of death,
Faint, yet so alluring.

A love that once bloomed,
Now withered by cruel fate's hand,
She slipped through his grasp.

Orpheus turned to look,
Lost his love to the abyss,
Silenced his music.

Their love, a tragedy,
Bound forever by death's hold,
Never to reunite.
