Alcestis
A palace of marble and gold
All I ever wanted but
Still wanting more
When you first arrived, it awakened
Something in me, and I felt
Alive
Live
Full of life and love
Help from the gods gave
You the strength to win
Winning me, winning everything
We set off on our lives
Alive
Living
Loving us and the world
But now the days are numbered
A warm favor turned curse
Your blessing turned sorrow
But I am not sad
Feeling weak
Feeling cold
Feeling love
Regret tinges your once happy face
As you lay me to sleep
Lying in the Earth
Dead

But alive
Silent
But shouting
For you
For us
For love
Lying silent in a hole
A hero comes to
Do the impossible
Lion on his back
He brings me
To life
Live
I am alive
I am loved
I am
Coming back to you
I am saved
From the clutches
Of the darkness
still silent, still not quite
Alive
But still living
Still loving you
You still loving me
Love
Live
Alive
Both of us again alive
