Orpheus
Thank you!Thank you so much
Okey,how about one last song?
Here's something…a little more personal
On a summer night
'T was a viper's bite
Took her out of sight
I followed
And I gave a show
We were free to go
And I climbed and Iook
She followed
But the queen you see
Played a trick on me
And Euryudice was swallowed…
Down…
Back above the ground
My guitar unwound
I was haunted,hounded,hollowed
Waiting my life away
But I felt this burn
I would soon return
And the queen would learn what followed
All that time above
Now I'd see my love
And soon enough was swallowed
Down…
And then despair
For they weren't there
But I would stay
Down…
To wait my life away
In my dark little cave there
Shaping my plans for the queen
Only sound that I made there
Were tortured cries and spite-filled mutterings
But my words were rebounding
From the stone,coming back at me
Pushing in and surrounding
All who hear now,listen
Hate…is a self-made prison
(I'm still wasting my life)
Wait my life away
Then on that throne
I sat like a stone
I have not grown
I have not grown...
