Orpheus

My name is Orpheus

And I am brave enough

To face the underworld

I have charm enough

To bend Hades heart

My name is Orpheus

Do I have faith enough

To see us through

Cause I wasn't scared

Till I got in this tunnel

With you

Love sent me down here

It taught my tongue the words

Our tale a true one

Our love a true one too

My name is Orpheus

Do I have faith enough

To see us through

I know you're behind me

I know you're behind me

Then the darkness eats away

All the courage

All the brave

Cause I can't hear your foot falls

And I wasn't scared till

I got in this tunnel with you

There's no fear

when you have nothing to lose

Now I have to choose

Do I look back

Will you be there

Behind me dead men hiss

They tell me I'm wrong

Need just one kiss

To keep me strong

But no kisses

No hugs

No words

No sound

Just a promise in my pocket from before this hell

I choose to fight forward

Every step a choice

Because I know

At least he'll be free

But past that threshold

There's no guarantee

That he'll want me

I am Orpheus

You think you know my tale

But this time

I won't fail
