We Raise Our Cups
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.
[Persephone]
Pour the wine and raise a cup
Drink up, brothers, you know how
And spill a drop for Orpheus
Wherever he is now
[Persephone and Eurydice]
Some birds sing when the Sun shines bright
Our praise is not for them
[Persephone]
But the ones who sing in the dead of night
We raise our cups to them
[Persephone and Eurydice]
Wherever he is wandering
Alone upon the earth
Let all our singing follow him
[Persephone]
And bring him comfort
[Company, Persephone and Eurydice]
Some flowers bloom
Where the green grass grows
Our praise is not for them
But the ones who bloom in the bitter snow
We raise our cups to them
[Company]
We raise our cups and drink them up
[Persephone]
We raise 'em high and drink 'em dry
[Company]
To Orpheus and all of us
[Persephone]
Goodnight, brothers, goodnight
