If It's True

ORPHEUS
 If it's true what they say
 If my love is gone for good
 They can take this heart away
 They can take this flesh and blood
 Take my mouth that kissed her mouth
 Take my tongue that sung her praise
 Take my arms that used to reach out
 In the dark to where she lay
 If it's true what they say
 I'll be on my way
 ♪
 If it's true what they say
 If there's nothing to be done
 If there's no part to be played
 If there's no song to be sung
 Take this voice, take these hands
 I can't use them anyway
 Take this music and the memory
 Of the muse from which it came
 If it's true what they say
 I'll be on my way
 We can all be on our way
 If it's true what they say
 But the ones who tell the lies
 Are the solemnest to swear
 And the ones who load the dice
 Always say the toss is fair
 And the ones who deal the cards
 Are the ones who take the tricks
 With their hands over their hearts
 While we play the game they fix
 And the ones who speak the words
 Always say it is the last
 And no answer will be heard
 To the question no one asks
 So I ask you as a brother
 And I ask you as a friend
 And I ask you as a lover
 And I ask you once again
 Is it true what they say?
