CAVE Am G F E Am G F E Am G F E Am G F E Am Cavern open to the tide Guardian of ages in repose On the threshold of eternal night Where the ancient breezes blow The art of ages drawn in stone Carve the stairway deep in the cave A door which I must pass alone To join the legions of the brave The path through that forbidden veil Evokes emotions of the soul All calm but for the lonely wail And echoed rhythms of the oceans roll Within the cavern lies a trap Dreams to tempt the greed of fools To cloud the hearts of mortal kin With Hade's treasure hoard of jewels The roster of lost souls is long That wander caverns of the deep Descending spirals into hell Where darkest demons wait asleep Cavern open to the tide Guardian of ages in repose On the threshold of eternal night Where the ancient breezes blow B.E.
