Light And The Blindness(Live)
Lyrics
Prisoners chained inside the cave
Unable to turn their heads
Tied to each other, burdened
The cave dark, sinister and immoral
The wall in front like a ..........silver screen(Dama/movies)
With the fire burning behind… (Reflectinggg)
Puppeteers in the parapet, holding up the puppets
Casting shadows on the silver screen
Passerby’s talking to each other about tales unknown
The dark den filled with echoes ….uncountable
The real objects; unseen
The real voice unheard
The reflection and the echoes
Giving life to the prisoners
Seeing the shadows they start to count
They start to imitate the echoes
With this shallow competition of emptiness
They pass their corrupt life- the prisoners
Only when a prisoner is released
Only when he sees the real world;
Of the velvet sky, the golden sun and the luminous moon
He shall realize his error
The blindness of his eyes (the reflection), the deafness of his ears (the echoes)
The realization gives him new ears, new eyes
Rejuvenates his heart; he becomes a thinker
Reaching the heights of knowledge, seeing the heaven
Makes him a dreamer
The Philosopher of his providence
The chains he wore-the sins he committed
The rivalry inside- the self-vanity
The blindness- the ignorance
The language he spoke- the useless
But the shadow is cast once again
He is sent back into the den
The prison life now disgust him
He tires to explain what he has felt in his soul
The light of knowledge burning inside
Persuasion becomes impossible
As the prisoners still speak the shameful language
The illusion of the objects still magnetize them
Instead he is called a “mad” man, the blind one
But- he is blinded by the knowledge of the forms outside
He lives a strong man between the sinners
Still trying, convincing
Speaking the truth that lies beyond illusions
