Like Orpheus Lyrics - Orphaned Land

Close my eyes, I cannot see 

Sudden blindness upon me 

This ray of light is so unknown 

From womb of darkness I am born 

Lift the veil of shade forever 

Like a candle that's within me 

I receive the gift of sight 

And rise! 

This life is a storm that rages on 

Fire, wind, the earth and sea are one 

I sing before you all like 

Orpheus with torch in hand 

The cave it still lies within 

Like a never ending sin 

Paint these walls with crimson light 

The phoenix now is taking flight 

Stare back to the abyss 

"Hades who rules there shall grant thee salvation" 

Like the snow that brings December 

I am the spark that sets the flame of truth alight 

And fight! 

And this life is the pain of being born 

Man, child and woman all are one 

I sing before you all... 

Like Orpheus
