The Cave Lyrics - Orphaned Land

In the dark I live 

Without any freedom in life 

Those darkened shadows do not deceive 

They are all I see and know 

This cave is all I breathe 

In chains 'til the day that you die 

This crimson fire burns at my back 

Like waves of nothing it flows 

One can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark 

But one cannot forgive a man who is afraid of the light 

Gods. Blind. Death. Chains. Dark. Bravery. 

War versus peace 

Ignorance versus strength 

Freedom versus slavery 

The dreamer must awake

لا إله إلا الله 

There is no god except Allah 

La illaha illallah 

Within a dream, I cannot forsake 

All hope has flown away 

This dark shall be your friend 

Your wish is not my command 

Free thought will lead you astray 

The brother looks from above 

I cannot forsake the brother I love 

One can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark 

The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light 

The stage is set for me 

Your life is a play that we wrote 

The curtain has to rise now you shall see 

This tragedy is the ending we sought 

The shadows are dancing upon the wall 

The man who has the gift of sight is one with truth in heart 

He sees beyond the veil of life, our cave he will depart 

Like Icarus he will fly too high and for that he must die 

Those unsung prophets and dead messiahs will fall 

We choose to live in this darkened cave, far, far away from the light
