From the moment we set foot beyond that cave And gazed into the light for the first time The foundation of reality began to unfold As if born again into a new world Yet even as we overcame the deception Imposed upon us against our will The feeling of helplessness remains For in the irony of it all, I am blind once again Perhaps this is the work of fate - an inevitable consequence So now I wander lost; a phantom cursed to linger in this realm Following the course that lies ahead Searching for a way back home
Through winding roads Of earth and stone To scar the soil Over which I roam
Through twisted paths By thorn and branch To score these hands And stain the land
This is the price that I pay To take a gamble with faith And now resigned to this fate To have no sight of the way
As my vision did fade So does the prospect of salvation grow dim All sense of hope decays Leaving me to suffer from this affliction alone Doomed to carry these burdens Withering slowly in desolation I can only wonder whether things would have been better If I had been left in the dark
I reject this notion Of a predestined tale That we are bound to walk on Such narrow pedestrian trails
And like the shadows that passed above I sense a presence from far beyond The illusion begat to overcome A prelude to convalesce
Behold! The light returns Revealing what I've yearned Oh! How the mountain shook As if to welcome this hermit home
And so I finally understood the message Behind the lessons learned Emerging from my isolation enlightened and finally redeemed Although it was chance that brought me back To this cave from whence I came It was choice that led me to set foot inside Upon entering those halls that once held me prisoner I now rejoiced Having shed the veil that formerly shaded my eyes As I looked among those who had taken place Along the chains in our absence I reached out and called for them to join me
