my love lay slain by a snake in a field
and i vowed to bring her back by any strength that i wield 
no mere death won't stop me for my love is pure and hot
and beside my music my love is all i got

so i set out to locate those tunnels leading deep
and i came upon the river styx where the boatman earns his keep
and even as he barred my way with staff and coin and ring
i brought up my ukulele and i started to sing

finally i came to the land of the dead
and i saw the face that all men do dread
and the face it spoke with words so cold and bleak
that i felt that i was dying even as i heard him speak

abandon hope all ye that enter here
though love be your purpose you live not without fear
my heart has never known love and so i will not let her go
not for you orfeo 

oh good king you think you know everything 
but it's love that binds the world and makes it whole
you words move me not nor your song, i see your thought
my heart will not be moved 
as is your goal
i'd gladly give my life for hers as the world without her lives in a curse
i'd die so she can keep her beauty in the world 
your precious life you'd give so that the one you love may live
my sleeping heart is shaken life a banner fresh unfurled 

the two of you may go
but this doom i do decree
you may turn around only once
to make sure she's following
but if you should turn a second time
then your quest will be undone
she'll remain with me
and you'll go back to the sun

and that's the story of how i lost the woman that i love twice
the first time by no fault of my own and the second time by my own vice
for in the darkness and the shadow
my thoughts began to quake
and before i know what had happened
i did a double take
