The Caves

 


I lost my way back in my youth

My hard sought honor withering before the truth

This path I walked, I walked alone. 

This world a harder place then I had known.


I hated the witheredd silence

They sent me away from both family and friend

In all those days that I was apart

Drugs saved my life but broke my heart.


I pleaded with God to help me come back

Prayers and hopes that I will not retract.

Every day I asked him this

Steady the way to recovering what was missed


I claim these caverns as mine alone. 

My gentle soul sheltered within the stone.

Whenever I seek shelter from the storm.

I close my eyes and come back home.


She has an entire cavern of her own

The Muse I haunted all alone

Her laughter still lights up my heart


I do not care about this story

I find in this no pride nor glory

I pay my penance in restless discord

Then the quiet comes to put away the sword.


Rays of light cut through the maw

And play the memories of what I saw

I am myself, a simple and sad one

Now I must account for what I have - or haven't - done.


What business have you here I say???
