Orpheus Songtext
von Between the Lines

Trees dance and parade through your music
Floating under willows and whistling through reeds
Water still at the moment to listen
Newborn melody brings us freedom
Gifted with song you were born
The one with singing from deep in your breast
Teach me with strength to let go and walk free
To walk free


Winter breaks and drifts melt away
Roots dig deep for pathways through stones
The words you utter like a shield protect me
My limbs stretch out to brush a lock of your hair
The lyre so sweet echoes for ages
The word by friend and foe perceived
For hundreds of years your story will re-ache

You guide dreams to life
Singer of tales sing us more stories
Of love and awareness that this world it should know
Spokesman of mountains and willows

Now you lie cradled in the river′s cool waters
Scattered by thieves, by those who would own you
Only muses of fury pick your death

As this song goes on

Trees dance and parade through your music
