Red and Dying Evening- The Masque of the Red Death
"you were so easily seduced by greed"
A weathly man attempts to avoid an epidemic, the Red Death in his abbey, inviting all the rich and noble men and women along.
(Thanks wikipedia. lol)

Ambrosia- King Midas and Silenus the satyr
"Once a king of roses, now a lord of gold"
Midas was a prominant king known widely for his glorious rose garden, until one day a satyr got drunk and was found by peasants of Midas land. King Midas treated the creature with care and hospitality for ten days, on the 11th, Silenus, the satyr, offered the king anything he wanted. Midas wished anything he touched would turn to gold.

Siren's Soliquoy- Um... siren's?? lol
the ugly half people things that could hypnotize men with their voices....

Alchemy Sounded Good at the Time- Orpheous the Poet
I'm not typing all the lyrics but read and...
Orpheous's wife Eurydice stumbled upon a nest of posinous snakes while running from the sun god's son (lol)
Orpheous was miserable and was convinced to go down to the underworld and win his wife back, with his lyre, he convinced the fairyman of the river Styx to let him pass
"I have found the way to fool the fairyman"
there's more but i'm lazy

Tilting the Hour Glass- Achilles the war hero
"heroes always pay in their blood"
"I see the fear growing in their lost eyes
my purpose is so clear...I am the ax"
"I wish I could make you see, I wish I could make you see through the pain
through the end, I wish I could make you see the greater purpose that I have to serve...
no one else will fight...no-one else will fight...so I must"
Achilles was given a prophecy that he would be killed in the war but was to proud of himself to care.

again, i'm too lazy to do anymore, and i'm a nerd, but if you know more. post it!
