We are merely shadows
Reality unclear
The only world we know, a cave
And the silence makes it hard to hear

Whisper in my ear the knowledge
Hopefully I'll understand
All there's to do is turn around
All I do is stand

Look into the light at first
Take it in, slow and deep
But don't look back into the darkness
The cave of soundless sleep

For knowledge is a mighty power
And knowledge takes will
But with knowledge there's a price to pay
A tragedy that's real

They are merely shadows
Reality unclear
The only world they know a cave
And the silence makes it hard to hear
