“If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is…”
The flames
they dance
upon the wall
Shadows play
we stare
in awe
All around unfamiliar faces,
do they even know what they’re here for?
Hustling here and there to and fro
do they even know where to go?
Not a game
so enthralled
The shadows
dance
our one
and all
In the midst of the teeming masses
stands an old beggar with a sign
He does not ask for their spare change
but prophesies of a drastic change
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming, the end is HERE!
(It’s coming)
(It’s coming)
(No place to
hide yourself)
(It’s coming
It’s coming)
(Brace yourself
for the end)
Embrace
your chains
do not strain
Warm constraints
that protect
from pain
One by one and upon another
building up this great house of cards
Anointed are the ones who play
the rest of us just live for today
Do not
attempt
to escape
There can’t
be more
beyond the door
No need to run and no need to panic
trust what the anointed ones say
It may crash down in a distant day
but not tomorrow and not today
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming, the end is near
The end is coming the end is HERE!
(Don't panic)
(Don't panic)
(Just trust us)
(Only us)
(Don't panic)
(Don't panic)
(Embrace this
state of bliss)
Calm
stay calm
Just close
your eyes
To sleep
just sleep
And dream
sweet dreams

CAVE DWELLER
Let me go. Let me go. Who made you my master?
THE ANOINTED
Let it be so. You're free to go. But you should choose wisely.
For once you leave and once you know, you can never return.
CAVE DWELLER
The choice is mine and only mine! I don’t need false wisdom!
THE ANOINTED
But there are some things. Dreadful things. That are not worth knowing, and noble lies help disguise all that is unpleasant.
CAVE DWELLER
Who are you?! To decide?! What there is to know?! I’ll break these chains! Escape the Cave! To look behind the curtain! And see who pulls the strings.
