"“Eurydice (Don't Look Back)" showcases all the signature elements of The Night Eternal: an instantly memorable chorus, mesmeric guitar work and straight-forward, uplifting rhythms. On a lyrical level, the song expands the band’s ongoing exploration of Greek mythology, continuing themes introduced in tracks like “Elysion” and “In Tartarus” while retelling the tragic tale of Orpheus. Forged as the very first song for the album, “Eurydice” set the uncompromising direction for everything that followed." - The Night Eternal

LYRICS:
A voice beneath the mountain sings,
through halls of ash and shattered kings.
The wind forgets the names it knew,
the path ahead is split in two.
The walls still bleed from ancient vows,
a shadow crown on unseen brows.
The mirrors speak with tongues of glass.
The time walks backward as you pass.

The dark is close, but dares not speak.A breath behind, a voice too weak.

Don’t look back. The stars are blind, the veil is thin.
Don’t look back. When tears will fall the night breaks in.
Don’t look back. Daylight ahead, the dawn so near.
Just one more breath, a voice behind, no faint to hear
A cold look back!

The light ahead is cold and fake.
A painted sun on glass that breaks.
The ground is gone, the air is tight.
He walks on words and bleeds from sight.
His promise, carved in smoke and song,
has turned to chains he's dragged too long.
A whisper stirs, her distant name.
But every echo sounds the same.

Don’t look back. The pact is made, the veil is thin.
Don’t look back. The oath still binds what lies within.
Don’t look back. Daylight ahead, the dawn so near.
Just one more breath. A voice behind, no faint to hear.
A cold look back.

The dark is close, but dares not speak,A breath behind, a voice too weak...

Don’t look back. But still, he turned. The curse was sealed.
Don’t look back. Her final cry, forever veiled.
Don’t look back. Her soul was lost, he followed in.
Just one last breath, now silence reigns where songs have been.

Don’t look back. But still, he turned. The curse was sealed.
Don’t look back. Her final cry, forever veiled.
A cold look back.
