Sea Of Days - Caves Lyrics

      

Caves
by Sea of Days

Verse 1: Shane Speed
We used to live in caves and etch our dreams in stone
Preserved for the ages, we were creators
We used to live in caves, build a fire to keep us warm
Protect us from outside danger, we felt much safer
But the fire it cast shadow on the wall
And the pictures that it formed, they seemed so real
And the light outside felt strong enough to blind us
So we didn't want to leave
I became a hermit, hid away inside
Wasted years of self imposed exile
How I wish that I could tell myself back then
Just take your time and shade your eyes

Chorus: Shane Speed
Why should I fear death?
I wasn’t scared before I was born
And I'm sure I will feel nothing after I go
Fear is part of life, we all must endure
And I'm sure I want to feel something before I go

Verse 2: Shane Speed
I used love to walk in the valleys where I lived
In the verdant palm of nature, I felt much safer
Running through the woods in the forests near my home
In the tender grip of nature, I felt much safer
Then I moved to where the chalk cliffs meet the sea
And I’d walk along the promenade
Till I saw the saw the sign that warned of falling rocks
So I climbed the path that led me to the top
I could feel the vertigo when near the edge
But I started looking up, not at my feet
And I swear I could see France just past the wind farm
The view was magnifique

Chorus: Shane Speed
Why should I fear death?
I wasn't scared before I was born
And I'm sure I will feel nothing after I go
Fear is part of life, we all must endure
And I'm sure I want to feel something before I go

Outro: Shane Speed
We used to live in caves and etch our dreams in stone
Preserved for the ages, we were creators
