Hylas And The Nymphs

A portrait of lustful water nymphs
Grabbing for Hylas to drag him within
The dark and dangerous depths
Of a lush green Grecian lake

Companion to the heroic Hercules
Slayer of demigods and beasts
Young Hylas lost his path
In the home of the beautiful Naiads

Deep colors dance across the canvas
Painting the picture of a mythic tragedy
Hylas was taken by the seductive spirits
And was never again to be seen

In the vein of he, is the tragic story
Of human beings in the modern world
Beautiful danger seduces and leads
Us into murky depths where darkness breeds.
