EURYDICE i feel your breath on my back, i keep walking, singing my throat breaking my fingers aching your presence is my Muse my feet burn in putrid lakes my feet bleed on jagged rocks yet, in hell i found paradise i found you, Eurydice i surface, and i break as premonition overcomes me and i turn around to see cruel fate dragging you away
