cavern - trollband lyrics

rest
to the dreams i go
where my sins will sow
as i sink beneath my shelter
illusions, filled with wisdom
so dark it seems
within them

i feel the air
around me
so hard to breath
i cannot see

i sense the ground
beneath me
no end in sight
for on my journey i am bound

on the face of nature i behold a great wall
the expanse immense, and i, humble at its feet
gazing up high, light reaching down
like stars so bright; through the darkest night
i hear tongues speak of many worlds
flowing with the voices of a thousand words
i feel the shifting shapes on walls
and see the words these voices call
words now growing louder, a thunderous proclamation
their howls begin to blend, becoming
one thought in the darkness
then nothing in the blackness
this outcry in the void was all then gone

seated in the shadows
surrounded in muteness
a dim light did wander
breaking through the stillness
silence interrupted
a sudden scream
he has been witness

with the lights guidance
i am led further into the earth
a smaller cavern opens up before me

glowing faintly a solitary pool
depressed deep within the stone
into it, a great river does rush
creating not a splash nor a stir
my hands reaching in, i draw out the water
peering down with hands held fully open
the water takes shape, a womanly form
and i frightened by her piercing eyes
my hands open up and to the floor she does tumble
screaming as she descended
shattered on the floor; the pieces start to gather
the liquid once more flows into the pool
a great noise from behind me, it echoes through the cavern
it leads me away from the fountains glow
a small light bends shadows, i come across a candle
upon a pillar of wax, a companion for the man beside it
hideous to behold, skeleton draped in rags
with chisel in hand slowly carving words into the stone
hollow were his eyes that gazed upon me as he turned
his monstrous shadow cast upon the wall withered

with curious inclination, i ask for his name
grinning from under his great beard
and with a sparkle of light within his empty eyes
“ancient “ he replies
