Orpheus

Lyrics

Argonaut, music master, he traveled far and wide
Saving lives playing his lyre, he charmed all life alike
Last ride, final destination : the realm of death deep down

To the underworld
To save his dearest one
Gods will let her go
If he does not look back

Descending down below, surrounded by the dead
His music touched the hearts of gods the darkest of them all
Hades, Persephone, they let her back to life

To the underworld
To save his dearest one
Gods will let her go
If he does not look back

There I am
Among all these souls
Wandering, drifting
Lifeless orbs in the underground
Death and solitude
All around, floating in the air

I know she’s here
She’s right behind me
Following me
Coming back to life
I can see the sunlight
Just a few steps away

I must not look back
I must not look back
I must not look back
I must not look back
NO!

To the underworld
To save his dearest one
Gods will let her go
If he does not look back

In the underworld
The weakness of mankind
His feelings took over
And Orpheus looked back
