The Orphean Testament
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It has taken a lifetime for me to reach here
And if you fled for your life just like me
You'd see it through my eyes
If you lived in the shadows like me
It's the break of dawn you fear
And that the skies you know will clear
I thought I was heaven sent
I thought I was heaven sent
I know that you can't hear me
I know that you can't hear me
I was caught in the ripples of a leaving light I must halt
'Cause when I found myself out of hope
I didn't know how to fall
I always thought I could rule it all
We never thought life could harm us
Beneath the ground and into the night
The ceaseless fall
I would travel through light-years to see
Just a glimpse of you again
So the sense of you remain
Heaven's wept tears of God's fell from stars
My words painted the skies in blue
My hymns of sorrow echoes for you
Shadows fell and changed all light
Misfortune of the serpent bite
Colored all we knew into night
The price of a glance unjust
Turns all we know to dust
Life ended right before us
I was caught in the ripples of a leaving light I must halt
'Cause when I found myself out of hope
I didn't know how to fall
I always thought I could rule it all
We never thought life could harm us
Beneath the ground and into the night
The ceaseless fall
Away from light
Set fire to life
Leave the day behind
We've set fire to life
Set fire, set fire
To life
I was caught in the ripples of a leaving light I must halt
'Cause when I found myself out of hope
I didn't know how to fall
I always thought I could rule it all
We never thought life could harm us
Beneath the ground and into the night
The ceaseless fall
