Like Orpheus lyrics

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…
