作曲：

Standing firm on this stony ground

The wind blows hard

Pulls these clothes around

I harbour all the same

Worries as most

The temptations to leave

Or to give up the ghost

I wrestle with an outlook on life

That shifts between darkness

And shadowy light

I struggle with words for

Fear that they'll hear

But orpheus sleeps on his back

Still dead to the world

Sunlight falls my wings open wide

There's a beauty here

I can not deny

And bottles that tumble

And crash on the stairs

Are just so many people

I knew never cared

Down below on the wreck

Of the ship

Are a stronghold of pleasures

I couldn't regret

But the baggage is swallowed up

By the tide

As orpheus keeps to his promise

And stays by my side

Tell me I've still a lot to learn

Understand

These fires never stop

Believe me when this joke

Is tired of laughing

I will hear the promise of

My orpheus sing

Sleepers sleep as

We row the boat

Just you the weather

And I gave up hope

But all of the hurdles

That fell in our laps

Were 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 stop

Please believe

When this joke is tired of laughing

I will hear the promise of

My orpheus sing
