《Neath》是澳大利亞樂隊Orpheus創作並演唱的歌曲，收錄於其專輯《Bleed The Way》中。作品以厚重的隱喻構建敘事，圍繞巨型石碑的意象展開，探討文明興衰、信仰異化與個體困境的主題。
歌詞通過"石碑陰影下坍塌的城邦""為奴役而活的群體"等場景，勾勒出曾被奉為精神圖騰的建築逐漸異化為壓迫符號的過程。反覆出現的"希望消亡"質問與戰爭意象交織，揭示集體狂熱對個體的吞噬，同時呈現信仰崩塌後人類文明的虛無狀態。全曲以循環結構強化宿命感，形成史詩般的悲劇氛圍。

Neath （The Shadow Of The Monolith） - Orpheus（Aus）
Citadels crumble now,
Around you they fall,
Beneath the shadow lurks civilization,
Forgotten and old,
But there in the distance,
The monolith stands,
Beneath it many have died,
And for it many did fall
Once in time, It gave hope,
It gave a reason to believe,
Across banners and shields
It was stretched for the battle ahead
One sign of belief unknown,
Neath the shadow of the monolith,
To your knees did you fall, your blood did flow,
What have we now, when all hope is gone,
What have we now, when all hope is lost,
To the drones that slave away,
They live to serve and die the same,
A lie that breeds their truth,
Will forever curse them all
Once in time,It gave hope,
It gave a reason to believe,
Across banners and shields
It was stretched for the battle ahead
One sign of belief unknown,
Many that cried false, were early put to death,
Their cries of pain and torture undue,
As they take their last breath,
Citadels crumble now,
Around you they fall,
Beneath the shadow lurks civilization,
Forgotten and old,
To the drones that slave away,
They live to serve and die the same,
Once in time, It gave hope,
It gave a reason to believe,
Across banners and shields
It was stretched for the battle ahead
One sign of belief unknown
Neath the shadow of the monolith,
To your knees did you fall, your blood did flow,
What have we now, when all hope is gone,
What have we now, when all hope is lost
Neath the shadow of the monolith,
To your knees did you fall, your blood did flow,
What have we now, when all hope is gone,
What have we now, when all hope is lost
