Duncan Sheik

Duncan Sheik - Orpheus lyrics

Your rating:

Standing firm on this stony ground

Another wind blows up, pulls these clothes around

I harbor all the same worries as most 

Temptations to leave or to give up the ghost

I wrestle with an out-look on life

That shifts between darkness and shadowy light

I struggle with words I fear that they'll hear 

That 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 

Just so many people i knew never cared

Down below on the wreck of the ship 

Our stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret 

The baggage is swallowed up by the tide 

As Orpheus keeps to his promise

it stays by my side



Tell me, I've still a lot to learn 

Understand 

These fires never start 

Believe me 

When this joke is tired of laughing I will hear

The promise of my Orpheus sing



long rest



Sleepers sleep as we row the boat

Just you and the web and I gave up hope

But all of the hurdles that fell in our laps

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



Tell me, I've still a lot to learn 

Understand 

These fires never start

Please believe me

When this joke is tired of laughing I will hear

The promise of my Orpheus sing
