my music brought creatures to my beckon,

trees would dance,

birds would sing,

hermes and his lyre were no match for me


but when thanatos took you from me,

the trees were still,

the birds were silent,

hades and the underworld were no match for me.


my music almost saved you.

the hymns and melodies sent the god to tears.


my music and poetry could best apollo

i was demeter's godsend


but when it came to keeping you safe,

not even the fates could help me.
