ORPHEUSIf it's true what they sayIf my love is gone for goodThey can take this heart awayThey can take this flesh and bloodTake my mouth that kissed her mouthTake my tongue that sung her praiseTake my arms that used to reach outIn the dark to where she layIf it's true what they sayI'll be on my wayIf it's true what they sayIf there's nothing to be doneIf there's no part to be playedIf there's no song to be sungTake this voice, take these handsI can't use them anywayTake this music and the memoryOf the muse from which it cameIf it's true what they sayI'll be on my wayWe can all be on our wayIf it's true what they sayBut the ones who tell the liesAre the solemnest to swearSongtexteAnd the ones who load the diceAlways say the toss is fairAnd the ones who deal the cardsAre the ones who take the tricksWith their hands over their heartsWhile we play the game they fixAnd the ones who speak the wordsAlways say it is the lastAnd no answer will be heardTo the question no one asksSo I ask you as a brotherAnd I ask you as a friendAnd I ask you as a loverAnd I ask you once againIs it true what they say?
