Wretched Soul

from Amphion by Baltimore Rock Opera Society

/

lyrics

THEODORA:
I can see from your face
You’re trapped by decisions you’ve made
It’s becoming too late
Your soul is forfeit in this race

Just weeks ago, peace was a dream
Now we’re here
And you’re letting bar-barity win
The music that Amphion brings is a
Glimpse of a world without failing or sin

She’s all that I have to give hope
To this wretched soul

When I’m left second-guessing myself,
My voice is not loud enough to drown
Out the resounding refrain of my failures

My fears, the one’s who I’ve lost,
The friends who I’ve left behind,
When my charms do not charm enough
As I struggle and fight through the darkness
I wander adrift, her life is a gift

I cannot choose doom
Won’t give up the promise I’ve made
She spit in his face
Abandoned herself to the grave

Justinian’s vision is clear
He delivers prosperity if we comply
The stakes for me aren’t merely strife
But to give up my friend or give up my life!

NARSES:
He’s all that I have to give hope to
This wretched soul

When I’m left second guessing myself,
My voice is not loud enough to drown
Out the resounding refrain of my failures
My fears

The one’s who I’ve lost,
The friends who I’ve left behind,
When my wits are not fast enough
As I struggle and fight through the darkness
I wander adrift, his life is a gift

BOTH:
Don’t be a coward
Use your head
We must let reason guide us
Or more end up dead

You’re just like her/him, rebellious and cruel
Allowing yourself to be led by a fool

She/He’s all that I have to give hope
To this wretched soul

When I’m left second guessing myself,
My voice is not loud enough to drown
Out the resounding refrain
Of my failures my fears

NARSES / THEODORA:
The one’s who I’ve lost / The friends who I’ve left behind

BOTH
When my best is not good enough
As I struggle and fight through the darkness
I wander adrift, his/her life is a gift
