Orpheus

Standing firm on this stony ground

The

wind blows hard, pulls these clothes around

I

harbour all the same worries as most

The

temptations to leave or to give up the ghost

I wrestle with an

outlook on life

That

shifts between darkness and shadowy light

I

struggle with words for fear that they'll hear

But

Orpheus sleeps on his

back, still dead to the world

--- ---- --- ----

--- ---- --- ----

Sunlight falls, my wings open wide

There's a

beauty here I cannot deny

And

bottles that tumble and crash on the stairs

Are just

so many people I knew never cared

Down below on the

wreck of the ship

Are a

stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret

But the

baggage is swallowed up by the tide

As

Orpheus keeps to his

promise and stays by my

side

--- --- Tell me,

I've still a lot to learn

Understand,

these fires never stop

Believe me,

when this joke is tired of laughing

I will hear the

promise of my

Orpheus

sing... (fermata)

Sleepers sleep as we row the boat

Just

you the weather and I gave up hope

But

all of the hurdles that fell in our laps

Was

fuel for the fire and straw for our backs

Still the voices have

stories to tell

Of the

power struggles in heaven and hell

But

we feel secure against such mighty dreams

As

Orpheus sings of the

promise tomorrow may

bring
