Like Orpheus

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
