Out of the Cave Lyrics

In a world of black and white,

The lonely man has colored sight

But he dares not breathe a word,

For seeing things makes one absurd

It's only shadows on the wall,

It's only fate and curtain call

There's a rainbow, everyone,

Count the colors one by one

Look up, come out of the cave

See the flowers, everyone,

Look up, you might see the sun

Look up, come out of the cave

Thus he speaks to those asleep,

And tells them all what they should seek

But they dare not trust a word,

For all he says sounds quite absurd

Shout him down, make him still,

But he cannot, and so they kill

See the man, for now he's dead,

See his blood is shining red

Look up, come out of the cave

See his blood is on the wall,

Red as rubies after all

Rise up, come out of the cave

Now see the guards with their shadow lights,

See that days are not like nights

They are rising, rise up from the cave

See the flowers, see the trees,

Feel the air, taste the breeze

They are free now, free from the cave

In a world of colored lights,

No one knows which way is right

And so they speak amongst themselves,

This upper world, well, it must be hell

Down the ladder, now they go,

Back to a place they used to know

See the shadows, everyone,

And now we're back where we begun

Don't look up

All the world's a cave
