If It's True Lyrics

[00:00.42] ORPHEUS
[00:04.42] If it's true what they say
[00:07.98] If my love is gone for good
[00:11.67] They can take this heart away
[00:15.84] They can take this flesh and blood
[00:19.76] Take my mouth that kissed her mouth
[00:23.35] Take my tongue that sung her praise
[00:27.44] Take my arms that used to reach out
[00:31.30] In the dark to where she lay
[00:34.96] If it's true what they say
[00:38.51] I'll be on my way
[00:46.07] If it's true what they say
[00:49.63] If there's nothing to be done
[00:53.88] If there's no part to be played
[00:57.91] If there's no song to be sung
[01:02.44] Take this voice, take these hands
[01:06.02] I can't use them anyway
[01:10.11] Take this music and the memory
[01:13.96] Of the muse from which it came
[01:17.96] If it's true what they say
[01:21.55] I'll be on my way
[01:26.41] We can all be on our way
[01:30.17] If it's true what they say
[01:34.52] But the ones who tell the lies
[01:38.19] Are the solemnest to swear
[01:42.63] And the ones who load the dice
[01:46.02] Always say the toss is fair
[01:50.27] And the ones who deal the cards
[01:54.19] Are the ones who take the tricks
[01:58.20] With their hands over their hearts
[02:02.51] While we play the game they fix
[02:06.52] And the ones who speak the words
[02:10.72] Always say it is the last
[02:14.60] And no answer will be heard
[02:18.89] To the question no one asks
[02:22.86] So I ask you as a brother
[02:26.86] And I ask you as a friend
[02:31.14] And I ask you as a lover
[02:35.01] And I ask you once again
[02:38.87] Is it true what they say?
[02:58.61]
