If only you had had a little more faith, Orpheus
I was walking right behind you
If only you had had a little more faith, Orpheus
I was coming from the underworld to join you.
That fateful moment
When overpowered by doubt
You sealed our fates
By turning your head—
I can’t help but think
How splendid our story would have been
If only you had had a little more faith.
For a guy like you
Who journeyed to the underworld
With nothing to defend himself
And just a lyre to play…
I fail to understand how does a guy like you
Does the one thing he was asked not to
And ends up living so miserably
Till the end of his days.
Tell me, Orpheus, was it the ghosts who got into you
Or the dreaded dog of Hades distracted you from your quest
For you knew what you had to do and you did it all the way
Just at the last minute, when we were so close—
You, lacking of faith, threw it all away.
If only you had had a little more faith, Orpheus
We would have been together today
If only you had had a little more faith, Orpheus
The hearts of men would not so easily go astray.
