Caves from Earth by Celesterre

Enter the cave shaft
Leave behind your rafts
And follow me down

The flooded passageways
A deep dark maze
Make sure you don’t drown

Caves
One of the few habitats on earth
Where not a single sunray inserts
Where every single escape is cursed
All life in darkness immersed

Losing all traces
As water chases us
We run for our lives…

Waiting for days, for weeks
Hearing your starving shrieks
Will we survive?

Caves
Are these rocks gonna be our graves?
Is there a chance that we will be saved?
It’s getting harder, but we still must be brave
Though our future looks more and more depraved

The dissolution of limestone
Stalactites and stalagmites
Together they form columns
A drapery of cave crystals

Cave dwelling creatures
With the strangest features
Have here left their mark

Cockroaches breeding
In bat-droppings feeding
Surviving the dark

Caves
To this darkness still enslaved
Wondering if we will ever be saved
It's getting harder but we still must be brave
Though our future looks more and more and more depraved

Artworks in dripstone
Never to be seen by the eye
A shelter for the blind
A grave for us unlucky trespassers…
