Lyrics
Oh, don't stop, lay on, please
There's a price, a place on your ship
What do you know of the sea?
Nothing
To face the sea without knowledge, or skill, brings only death
Of death, I am knowledgeable
Danger, I do not fear, and I can give you music
Music that will tame wild beasts, lift men's hearts to Heaven
What is your name?
"Orpheus"
(The sirens, the sirens, the sirens)
(The sirens, the sirens, the sirens)
I think it's fine to relinquish mine, for the life of our seeds
From weak moves, these dudes eat your food, like harpies
Not just car thieves, large please, came home, hardened murderers
By the death toll, would've thought the threshold was guarded by Cerberus
It's hard to love, and if only God could judge, who needs juries?
Weighin' the crime, still payin' for mine, haunted by the three furies
Should discover y'all brothers, instead of throwin' signs that divide you
It ain't never shoot you, just headed to you with nines
It's the Hydra, being deprived of the papes, made a lot of mistakes in my era
Hard life course, you needed white horse to defeat the Chimera
Every morning wake, never caught a break, revealed, I was jinxed
To be the man deciphers life's riddle, or get killed by the Sphinx
Quietly spoke volume of my drama, since then, I've been at war
It's no bull, my lab was in a labyrinth like the Minotaur
Rose from the pavement, unaided, negotiated like the sly fox
I told son, "Won't be fooled by no one, like the Cyclops"
The more static, the more tatted, you would've thought yakuza
Large crops, or hard rocks, it's like we all saw Medusa
'Til the roar of the silence, we at war with the tyrants
Blocks of outlaws, but all we watch out for is the sirens (the sirens)
I'm not gon' let (let), let you (let you, let you)
Get the best of (best of), you (you) get the best of me
This is Orpheus' verse
This wasn't a want, it was more of a thirst
Brand last, 'cause on this land mass fortunate first
Of course, when I was lost, it was important to search
