N*tr* Sw**t P*x** St*c*s
(Nutra Stick Productions, 1997)
The Story of Orpheus
Listen as I,
Orpheus tell you
The story so sad
Of how I, the great musician,
Went to the underworld and then came back
I sang my way past the river Styx
And charmed the 3 headed dog Cerberus
All the way To Hades' thrown
And I sang them the sad story
Of how my love, Euridyces,
Was taken away from me
By Hermes After a snake bite
On our sad wedding night
And even the cold Hades
Took pity on me
And he granted
My request to bring
Back my love
On the condition
On our return trip
I could not look back
Upon her
So I happily thanked the god
And went on my way
With my love
Behind me
Or was she?
I noticed that I could no longer
Hear her footsteps behind me
I had to look
But as I did I saw Hermes
Take her away
And now I've nothing left to do,
But sing this sad sad song
