Cleobis and Biton,
Fell asleep never to wake again.
The final bliss of ambrosial sleep,
Mother Hera kissed them on their cheeks.
The flowers bloomed as they took the yoke.
The gods sung and the wind, it spoke.
The glistening gold sea flooded with emotion.
To die in the moment of highest devotion.
The blood flowed harshly and darkness veiled their eyes.
The greatest gift was sent by the silver sky.
The highest blessing a mortal can obtain.
The purest clouds broke with the softest rain.

Tiptoe down
To the lonely places
Where you're going now
Don't turn around
There’s my girl
In her party dress
She didn't like
Anything there
Eurydice
With her sunshine face
Carrying her
Head down
Tiptoe down
To the holy places
Where you're going now
I turned around
