Twelfth Gate - Orpheus lyrics

rate me

Star in your time respected

You couldn't bring the past to life

Slipped through your hands again

Don't look back

And you mourn again

Who from us can feel your pain?

Sing a sweet song

To pass the day

Entrancing even the most harden

Convinced the highest ranking to do your bidding

Let us into the underworld to retrieve your only love

And defy the serpent's curse of death

The magic you possess

The different ways they said you died

I say you died of loneliness

Sad and alone

Sunrise to sunset

You touch a chord with me

Orpheus

A minstrel supreme, but a lonely human being

They never let you have it all in this world

Even you, with the magic of your song

Our lives are bitter sweet

The serpent's seen to that

Orpheus

You live in us all
