The Cave Of Dreams

From the album: Unraveled Veils

Intro - instrumental

Verse 1
An exhausted day
Hands the power
To the awakened night.
Tired, I crawl into my safe shell.

Verse 2
I close my eyes
And concentrate on my breathing.
All tensions disappear
As I cocoon myself away.

Verse 3
A blackness takes over,
I light a torch
And descend the stairs
Into the cave of dreams.

Verse 4
Silver spiderwebs
Decorate the corridors
Of the cold underground.
Friendly spiders invite me to come along.

Chorus
A whole new world presents itself,
An unwritten tale
Is searching an author,
The holder of the golden pen.

Verse 5
I courageously continue
My lonely journey.
Unknown magical sounds
Echo in the corridors.

Verse 6
A silhouette approaches.
Who is this interesting person?
Is it someone I know?
I can't tell yet.

Chorus
A whole new world presents itself,
An unwritten tale
Is searching an author,
The holder of the golden pen.

Bridge
I hold my torch,
The silhouette takes shape.
My own face is looking back at me,
A mirrorless reflection.

Verse 7
This stranger self
Smiles reassuring,
Caresses my hair,
Gives me the golden pen.

Virtuoso solo - instrumental

Outro

She puts a spell on me and says:

"Immerse yourself in the pool of your desires,
Dig deep and be free.

Let the golden pen create
All your wishes and fantasies.

Dream away,

Write your story,

Dream away.

You are the author

With the golden pen.”

Outro - instrumental

Musical style concepts

Slowly building trip hop track with a slight oriental sound, adding mystery and mystique. Low-pitched female vocals. Eerie sound-effects add a slightly frightening vibe.
