Gone, I’m Gone
[EURYDICE]
Orpheus, my heart is yours, always was and will be
It's my gut I can’t ignore, Orpheus, I'm hungry
Oh, my heart, it aches to stay
But the flesh will have its way
Oh, the way is dark and long
I'm already gone
I’m gone
[FATES]
Go ahead and lay the blame, talk of virtue, talk of sin
Wouldn't you have done the same in her shoes, in her skin?
You can have your principle
When you've got a belly full
But hunger has a way with you
There's no telling what you're gonna do
When the chips are down
Now that the chips are down
What you gonna do when the chips are down?
Now that the chips are down
