    Verse 1
    Standing 
    firm 

    on 
    this 
    stony 
    ground 

    The 
    wind 
    blows 
    hard 

    Pulls 
    these 
    clothes 
    around 

    I 
    harbour 
    all 
    the same 

    worries 
    as 
    most 

    The tempta
    tions 
    to leave 

    or 
    to 
    give 
    up 
    the ghost 

    I 
    wrestle 
    with 
    an 
    outlook 
    on 
    life 

    That shifts 
    between 
    darkness 

    and shadowy 
    light 

    I struggle 
    with 
    words 
    for fear 

    that 
    they'll 
    hear 

    But 
    orpheus 
    sleeps 
    on 
    his 
    back 

    still 
    dead 
    to the 
    world 

    Verse 2

    Sunlight 
    falls, 
    my 
    wings 
    open 
    wide 

    There's 
    a 
    beauty 
    here 
    I cannot 
    deny 

    And 
    bottles 
    that 
    tumble 

    and 
    crash 
    on 
    the stairs 

    Are 
    just so 
    many 
    people 
    I 
    knew 
    never 
    cared 

    Down 
    below 
    on 
    the wreck 
    of 
    the ship 

    Are 
    a stronghold 
    of 
    pleasures 

    I 
    couldn't 
    regret 

    But the 
    baggage 
    is swallowed 

    up 
    by 
    the tide 

    As 
    orpheus 
    keeps 
    to 
    his 
    promise 

    and stays 
    by 
    my 
    side 


    Verse 3
    Tell 
    me, 
    I've 
    still 
    a lot 

    to 
    learn 

    Understand, 
    these 
    fires 

    nev
    er 
    stop 

    Believe 
    me, 
    when 
    this 

    joke 
    is 
    tired 
    of 
    laughing 

    I 
    will 
    hear 
    the 
    promise 
    of my 
    orpheus 
    sing 

    Interlude 1






    Verse 4
    Sleepers 
    sleep 
    as 
    we 
    row 
    the 
    boat 

    Just 
    you 
    the weather 
    and 
    I 
    gave 
    up 
    hope 

    But 
    all 
    of 
    the hurdles 
    that fell 

    in our 
    laps 

    Were fuel 
    for 
    the 
    fire 
    and straw 
    for 
    our 
    backs 

    Still 
    the voices 
    have stories 
    to tell 

    Of 
    the 
    power 
    struggles 
    in 
    heaven 
    and 
    hell 

    But 
    we 
    feel 
    secure 
    against 

    such 
    mighty 
    dreams 

    As 
    orpheus 
    sings 
    of 
    the 
    promise 

    tomorrow 
    may 
    bring 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 5
    Tell 
    me, 
    I've 
    still 
    a lot 

    to 
    learn 

    Understand, 
    these 
    fires 
    never 
    stop 

    Please 
    believe, 

    when 
    this 
    joke 
    is 
    tired 
    of 
    laugh
    ing 

    I 
    will 
    hear 
    the 
    promise 
    of my 
    orpheus 
    sing

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
