In this cavern of dreams
This prison hold of stone
I am haunted by the memories
of a world I have known
Reaching out for connection
I clutch the empty air
In all the realm of time and space
I'm certain I'm alone
Focused, facing dead ahead
with blinders on my eyes
The world is just a memory
in the echoes of their cries
No sense of depth perception
No sense of time and motion
A reflection of a reality
A lost horizon on the ocean
The echoes of their calls
Ring out from the hallowed halls eternally
They are all the world to me
Caught up in the pursuit
of immortality
When the dreams are all abandoned
for hard reality
Focused, facing dead ahead
with blinders on our eyes
The world is just a memory
in the echoes of our cries
Escape the shadows if you dare
Brave the world and look up at the sky
and the reflections on the water from the starlight
A supernova casts its glare
The spangled heaven’s silver siren call
Holds the children of the universe in thrall
