The Spectacle

The Cave

The Spectacle


the sweet fragrance of sweat 
that perfume couldn't cover up 
speaks to me in a language of its own 
but we don't sleep in beds of stone 
your rationality is nothing in the cave 
this time science lost to mythology 
there are ancient secrets painted on walls 
that we will never know 

but what use is it to write of things long lost? 
there are ancient secrets painted on the walls 
of the caves that we once slept in 

the sweet fragrance of sweat 
that perfume couldn't cover up 
speaks to me in a language of it's own 
one day all this will be over 
we'll fly like dragons in the wind 
and sleep by the fire in the cave 
if we can find our way there
