He does not look around - (B.Pearce) inspired by the tale of Orpheus
Moving on through the Hades flame
Walking on through his love and pain
He knows he can't look back
so forward he must go
Taking paths that may bless or haunt
Ghostly voices that caress or taunt
He doesn't look around
above him or below
Who's behind him...up ahead...he will know
Tears are falling as he hears the sound
of gentle voices saying "Look around!"
He knows he can't look back
so forward is his aim
Angry voices shout out "Stop and stare!
That path you're taking isn't really there!"
He doesn't look around
His path remains the same
Who's behind him...up ahead...he'll take the blame
Moving forward he can hope to see
a place where he has found a sanctuary
A place he can look back
to see her standing there
Looking back into the Hades flame
would mean he'd never see his girl again
He doesn't look around
whatever his despair
Who's behind him...up ahead...he'll find somewhere
