Orpheus Lyrics


Far from the battlefield

Carrying troop and shield

Straight ahead, she steers

Rugged coastline appears

Possessed outdated map

Embedded nose into sand trap

Engines seized, force of waves

(exposing port side, timber bends and caves)

Sea pounded murderously

Squadron running aimlessly

Hanging from the mast

Weary, death comes fast

[Chorus:]

Bodies scattered throughout

Young as twelve cry out

Gasping for air, thrashing about

In vain they cry and shout

Bodies scattered throughout

Young as twelve cry out

Gasping for air, thrashing about

In vain they cry and shout

Far From the battlefield

Carrying troop and shield

Straight ahead, she steers

Sea pounded murderously

Squadron running aimlessly

Hanging from the mast

Weary, death comes fast

[Chorus]

Sea as dense as night,

Waves crash force and might

Sailors swept away

Men slowly lose the fight

Floating lifeless, eyes of grey

Where gods no longer reign

Eyes of grey
