Anaïs MitchellAbout
Appearing before an exhausted Orpheus, the Fates malevolently taunts him and tells him to give up all hope. His efforts will be all for naught anyway, the Fates reason, as he would have to move heaven and hell to convince Hades to let Eurydice go.
Nothing Changes Lyrics
[FATES]
Why the struggle, why the strain?
Why make trouble, why make scenes?
Why go against the grain, why swim upstream?
It ain't, it ain't, it ain't no use
You're bound, you're bound, you're bound to lose
What's done, what's done, what's done is done
That's the way the river runs
So why get wet?
Why break a sweat?
Why waste your precious breath?
Why beat your handsome brow?
[FATE]
Nothing changes
[FATES]
Nothing changes, nothing changes
Anyhow
