“Good Riddance” and “Lament of Orpheus” from HADES

“Good Riddance”
Eurydice’s Song from Hades, performed by Ashley Barrett (written by Darren Korb)

Farewell
To all the earthly remains

No burdens
No further debts to be paid

Atlas
Can rest his weary bones
The weight of the world
All falls away
In time

Goodbye
To all the plans that we made

No contracts
I’m free to do as I may

No hunger
No sleep except to dream
Mild and warm
Safe from all harm
Calm

Good riddance
To all the thieves
To all the fools that stifled me
They’ve come and gone
And passed me by
Good riddance
To all

Farewell
To all the еarthly remains

No burdens
No further dеbts to be paid

Atlas
Can rest his weary bones
The weight of the world
All falls away
In time


“Lament of Orpheus”
Orpheus’ song from Hades, written and performed by Darren Korb

Hear, o gods, my desperate plea
To see my love beside me

Sunk below the mortal sea
Her anchor weighs upon me
Fasten her tether unto me
That she may rise to sail free

Don’t look back

Close enough that light we can see
My doubt betrays the better of me
A glance to the stern is all it would be
That anguished shade shall haunt me

Ever on

Calm
Seas
Winds a-lee
But now the squall’s upon us
We’re foundering
Drowning

Don’t look back
