"Every time we take a step we're surrounded by the ideological birds of prey who feed on our possibilities" Fredy Perlman

Scene 1: she wakes up

No lover beside her

A bed made of stone

The throne of the fighter

Calling for Orpheus

"Where is my glorious"

She knows round here's notorious

(At the edge of the stage

Lurks a shrouded figure

Footsteps come closer

Shadow grows bigger)

Demon: Is this the excuse for a muse?

Who inspires songs like the

Shrieking of the shrews?

Eurydice: Demon, you gotta be kidding me

Simply just seeing me creates a symphony

Demon: This is Hell

The swell of the storm

Where no painting nor poem

Would dare to be born

Eurydice: Oh, how I long for the daylight

How can I be dead from such a tiny snakebite?

I'm longing for Orpheus

Who's poetry could paint this

Hell hole as glorious

Demon: What God is this that you speak of?

Eurydice: He is a man not a Greek God

He is the muse of all their envy

The spirits hear his songs and

Burst into frenzy

Demon: Hmm, I would like to meet him

Surely he'll follow

The sound of your screaming

Eurydice: Yes, he would come in a heartbeat

Demon: Ha, then I will feast on his dark meat

I'm walking with Orpheus

Walk forward victorious

If you're going through Hell

I know not knowing is torturous

I'm walking with Orpheus

Walk forward victorious

Don't like back

Think of the cat who's curious

And have faith

That's faith

Scene 2: Orpheus is pleading for clemency

Stood at the gates with Hades and Persephone

Orpheus: The love I've lost's like no other

Beauty falls short; how it longs to become her

Hades: Your love is like all the others

Persephone: Definitely, just common lovers

Orpheus: we're the reason hearts are carved into stone

The greatest lovers the world's ever known

Scene 3: Orpheus cups his hands and bellows

"I'm coming for you my love"

Off the wall his words echo

Scene 4: Persephone to Eurydice

Your husband has come for you, oh my what chivalry

Go and find him and remember you're welcome

It was I who softened Hades' possession

Hades to Orpheus: stay on the track

If you look around she will be snatched right back

Scene 5: Orpheus is walking to the surface

Eurydice follows behind him so nervous

"Just stick to the path don't let no one deter us"

But to temptations, intentions are worthless

With each lack of faith see them turn into curses

Orpheus: I cannot fight these urges

With Earth in sight, he turns for observance

Hades appears to snatch back to the furnace

I'm walking with Orpheus

Walk forward victorious

If you're going through Hell

I know not knowing is torturous

I'm walking with Orpheus

Walk forward victorious

Don't like back

Think of the cat who's curious

And have faith

That's faith

Faith

That's faith

Have faith
