A Gathering Storm
[FATES]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[HERMES, spoken]
With Persephone gone, the cold came on
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
He came too soon
He came for her too soon
It's not supposed to be like this
[EURYDICE]
(spoken)
Well
(sung)
'Til someone brings the world back into tune
(spoken)
This is how it is
[HERMES, spoken]
Orpheus had a gift to give
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Hey, where are you going?
[HERMES, spoken]
Touched by the gods is what he was
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
I have to finish the song
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Finish it quick
The wind is changing
There's a storm coming on
[FATES]
Wind comes up, ooh
[EURYDICE, spoken]
We need food!
[FATES]
Wind comes up, ooh
[EURYDICE, spoken]
We need firewood
[HERMES]
Orpheus and Eurydice
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Did you hear me? Orpheus?
[HERMES]
Poor boy workin' on a song
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Orpheus!
[HERMES]
Young girl looking for something to eat
[EURYDICE, spoken]
Okay, finish it
[HERMES, spoken]
Under a gathering storm
