The Journey of Orpheus
Orpheus' Odyssey: Navigating Love and Loss in the Underworld
Lyrics
Step by step, dead ends never end
Progressing step by step, facing continuous challenges with no apparent resolution
I've lost the way many times
Experiencing repeated losses and confusion, struggling to find the right path
In this cave full of shades, all the ways seem the same
Navigating through a dark and confusing place where all paths seem indistinguishable
All the ways lead to the doubt
Every path leads to uncertainty and questioning
Drop by drop, the mourn of my blood
The gradual sadness and pain of the speaker, seeking answers from the divine
Begs all the gods to know
Praying to the gods to determine if the presence behind the speaker is their beloved
If the one behind me, if the presence I feel
Doubting the true identity of the presence behind the speaker
Is really my beloved
Questioning if the sensed presence is truly the speaker's beloved
Step by step, the stench of the deads
Encountering the smell of death with each step
Comes from everywhere
The stench of death pervades from all directions
The laughs of the deads poison the air
The laughter of the dead poisons the air, creating a toxic atmosphere
"Question us if you dare"
A challenge from the dead to question them if the speaker dares
Word after word, dead souls of this world
Conversations with souls of the deceased confirm the speaker is leading a ghostly existence
Assure me i am leading a ghost
Feeling fear and coldness, with a slow-moving threat that will take the speaker's body if they halt
It's scary and cold, it moves very slow
Lord Hades warns the speaker to know their place or face consequences
It will take my body if I stop
Hearing a familiar voice calling the speaker's name, filled with the echoes of the past
Lord Hades said "know your place, or pay the price"
Reflection on the impact of death, with the possibility of significant changes
Step by Step, her voice calls my name
The past, once familiar, now appears distorted and crippled, seeking betrayal
Dead words of times gone by
Reiteration of Lord Hades' warning about knowing one's place or facing consequences
Is she really her? Is she still the same?
The haunting voices of ghosts cautioning against impending danger and death
Death could bring so many changes
A prophetic warning that death will come at the hands of a woman
Day after day, our past everyday
At the final step, the speaker turns to their love, finding her presence
Now it seems under a veil
The loved one's presence is ephemeral, disappearing suddenly
It's Buried in her and rises from death
Lord Hades repeats the warning about knowing one's place or facing consequences
But it doesn't seem the same
A complex and intricate emotional journey with potential consequences
It's warped and lame, maimed in pain
Revisiting the theme of distorted and betrayed love, now seeking a way to betray
It seeks a back to betray
Lord Hades reiterates the consequences of not knowing one's place
Lord Hades said "know your place, or pay the price"
Final warning from Lord Hades about understanding one's place
Step by step, step by step, the voices of the ghosts
Say beware, say beware, or you'll soon be dead and gone
-In the end, in the end, you'll be killed by a woman
-In the end, at my last step, i turned to my love
-She was there, she was there, and then she was no more
-Lord Hades said "know your place, or pay the price"
