[00:18.777] Standing firm on this stony ground[00:22.848] The wind blows hard, pulls these clothes around[00:27.138] I harbour all the same worries as most[00:31.404] The temptations to leave or to give up the ghost[00:36.762] I wrestle with an outlook on life[00:40.606] That shifts between darkness and shadowy light[00:44.921] I struggle with words for fear that they'll hear[00:49.677] But Orpheus sleeps on his back, still dead to the world[00:59.327] Sunlight falls, my wings open wide[01:02.686] There's a beauty here I cannot deny[01:07.689] And bottles that tumble and crash on the stairs[01:12.032] Are just so many people I knew never cared[01:17.481] Down below on the wreck of the ship[01:20.811] Are a stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret[01:25.653] But the baggage is swallowed up by the tide[01:30.146] As Orpheus keeps to his promise and stays by my side[01:41.851] Tell me, I've still a lot to learn[01:49.684] Understand, these fires never stop[01:58.224] Believe me, when this joke is tired of laughing[02:07.071] I will hear the promise of my Orpheus sing[03:07.678] Sleepers sleep as we row the boat[03:11.465] Just you the weather and I gave up hope[03:16.276] But all of the hurdles that fell in our laps[03:20.430] Was fuel for the fire and straw for our backs[03:25.711] Still the voices have stories to tell[03:29.420] Of the power struggles in heaven and hell[03:34.041] But we feel secure against such mighty dreams[03:38.723] As Orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may bring[04:08.308] Tell me, I've still a lot to learn[04:15.982] Understand, these fires never stop[04:24.791] Please believe, when this joke is tired of laughing[04:33.500] I will hear the promise of my Orpheus sing
