Testo Orpheus

Standing firm on this stony groundThe wind blows hardPulls these clothes aroundI harbour all the same worries as mostThe temptations to leave or to give up the ghostI wrestle with an outlook on lifeThat shifts between darkness and shadowy lightI struggle with words for fear that they'll hearBut Orpheus sleeps on his back still dead to the worldSunlight falls, my wings open wideThere's a beauty here I cannot denyAnd bottles that tumble and crash on the stairsAre just so many people I knew never caredDown below on the wreck of the shipAre a stronghold of pleatures I couldn't regretBut the baggage is swallowed up by the tideAs Orpheus keeps to his promise and stays by my sideTell me, I've still a lot to learnUnderstand, these fires never stopBelieve me, when this joke is tired of laughingI will hear the promise of my Orpheus singSleepers sleep as we row the boatJust you, the weather, and I gave up hopeBut all of the hurdles that fell in our lapsWere fuel for the fire and straw for our backsStill the voices have stories to tellOf the power struggles in heaven and hellBut we feel secure against such mighty dreamsAs Orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may bringTell me, I've still a lot to learnUnderstand, these fires never stopPlease believe, when this joke is tired of laughingI will hear the promise of my Orpheus sing
