The Long Road (Demo)

Dear Daphne (Demo) from Primordius (A Mythology Concept Demo EP) Cover Art by Quinn Hoffmann An original song by Tape and Tears, inspired by "Orpheus and Eurydice" as told in Metamorphoses by Ovid. My Gods of the Underworld, once just a boy and girl, I've heard the tale over time of how love joined you And if I can speak the truth without the riddles of lying mouths Well I’m sure the tourist route of Tartarus has really good reviews but it's not my reason for being For we all come here, we all come home, this is our final place I am not afraid of the unknown, just missing what once was familiar I know many have the same story as I and I’m selfish for asking to be different For we all come here, we all come home, let Eurydice take the long road See my wife, she stepped upon a snake, which poisoned her tender years And I wanted to endure it and won’t deny I tried Love, it conquered me, all consumingly So I ask that you unravel what will be, so I ask that you untangle love and grief For we all come here, we all come home, this is our final place I am not afraid of the unknown, just missing what once was familiar I know many have the same story as I and I’m selfish for asking to be different For we all come here, we all come home, let Eurydice take the long road “Not high above, here down below, not to ascend, make this my home The Underworld and loving wives, My God, I understand the price I am not afraid of the unknown, just missing what once was familiar” Orpheus could not endure the unknown, his love couldn’t get him through it Eurydice said one last goodbye, he barely heard her voice Eurydice fell into hell’s sky, back to where she’d been Now the wife, now dying again, Eurydice made no complaint For what could she complain about except that she was loved? For we all come here, we all come home, this is our final place I am not afraid of the unknown, just missing what once was familiar I know many have the same story as I and I’m selfish for asking to be different For we all come here, we all come home, let Eurydice take the long road
