David Sylvian - "Orpheus"
The sleepers sleep while we row
just you, the time
and I've lost hope
but all the obstacles
that have fallen into our lap
were fuel for the fire
and straw for the back
the voices still have
stories to tell
about power struggles
in heaven and hell
but we feel safe
against these mighty dreams
while Orpheus sings the promise
that could bring tomorrow.
