Orpheus
Jon Langford
All my time I spent in heaven
Revelries of dance and wine
Waking to the sound of laughter
Up I'd rise and kiss the sky
Ecstacy and fornication
Music, lust and poetry
Something stirs, I hear a warning
I look for Euridices
Lose your head
Searching through the pits of Hades
Like a miner in the gloom
I seek out to find my babies
Don't look back the warning booms
In my thoughts that warning shakes me
How can fate deceive me now?
I will think on worlds in order
I will make a solemn vow
Lose your head
One last glimpse to take back with me
Set my eyes, despite the fear
One last glimpse was all they needed
LOOSE THE MEKONS came the cheer
Torn in two, and cut and scattered
Limb from limb and heart from mind
In the water hear me singing
As my head swirls in the brine
Lose your head
I will teach them from my lesson
I will teach them from my song
I will speak of all lives wonder
Where I land will be renowned
Where I land will be the fortress
Of this fight against the tides
Tides of rotten patriarchy
Tides of greed and tricks and lies
Lose your head
