The Cave

(앨범: Valley Of Kings - 2020)

The colors run together
From horrors written on the walls
Sleeping with one eye open
Living with one eye closed
Strangers pass like years
Tortured and twisted
Seeking what was lost there on that day
Swallowed whole by the mouth of The Cave

Days mean nothing in this place
They come and test the will
These nights are screaming sonorous
They're rushing, yet still

A man that's so far gone
Scorched by time, living life always shielding his eyes
And now he's all alone
Shadows of yesterday, flashes of tomorrow
What did we lose that day?
Swallowed whole by the cave
Where have the days all gone?
Where have the days all gone?

No candle to the ages, but for the things they built
I know only too well the sight of this place
Its vile contours, its twisted figurines
Have never seen the light of day, rotting alone inside The Cave

Scrolls of terrible truths
But the winds tell a different story
They whisper of false forms
And a dead hope not worth seeking
I saw a distant world on his shoulders
Through the stars in his eyes; their light blinds yet gives sight
Never knowing where the days are headed
Or where the days have gone

A man that's so far gone
Scorched by time, living life always shielding his eyes
And now he's all alone
Shadows of yesterday, flashes of tomorrow
What did we lose that day?
Swallowed whole by the cave
Where have the days all gone?
Where have the days all gone?
