The Cave Principle

I crawl across the floor, never see the light

Only shadows on the wall

Somebody said there's reality behind

But I'm afraid to turn and fall...!

Set me free—for eternity

And now they talk about my destiny again

I hear their footsteps in the dark

But then again, there was the silence and the pain

Ooh, Lord, that made me feel so lost...!

Help me—get out of here

Save me—my world's an illusion

I'm still inside the cave, imprisoned in my mind

And silhouettes on the wall

I have to turn around to see what's goin' on

'Cause what I saw was never all...!

Just a move is the solution

It's not enough to stand and stare

Leave the cave and find a reason

For the cross you have to bear

Never—return to the principle....
