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.
