Orchids on the Orinocco Lyrics: Ethan Place Music: Robert Edgar © 2004 Robert Edgar and Ethan Place No one knew what they called themselves No one saw where they’d gone. We only heard the words of a bird They’d taught to speak their tongue. Orchids on the Orinoco Drifting with the flood Scattered by time’s arrows Murmurs in the blood. Shattered Masks spiked the dancing ground. Sacred horns starved for breath And still we heard the words of a bird As meaningless as death. Orchids on the Orinoco Drifting with the flood Scattered by time’s arrows Murmurs in the blood. Cookfire ashes pale as bone Foot-worn paths all overgrown Palm-wrapped mummies tombed in stone Jaguar glare and insect drone. What whispers passed in their hammocks? What did they name the night? All that we heard were words from a bird With plumes banana bright. Orchids on the Orinoco Drifting with the flood Scattered by time’s arrows Murmurs in the blood.
