Belly of the Cavern - 2021 Remastered Version Songtext
von Typhoon

I was lost out in the mountains
And i had run out of provisions
I had one drop left in my deer-skin
And i had come to my last decision

Should i lie down
Or should i be laid down

I had set out in the first place
From what i gathered from rumored hearsay
I heard of treasure in a high cave
On the northern slopes of the coast range

So i climbed up
But i didn′t know how to climb down

I wandered through the foliage
I came across my own tracks and i became discouraged
Until at long last i found a cavern
I crawled inside and i lit my lantern


And it was all there
Just like they told me it would be there

I was lost out in the mountains
I had no water nor food to eat
So i drank the soil from a golden chalice
I gritted precious stones between my teeth

And i regretted my lonesome palace
Should have never listened to others tales
All i had left was a priceless ballast
To hold me down from the howling gales

In my mouth there burned a fire
I was dying of a long long draught
But then a voice whistled across the mouth of my cavern
And it said to me it said that without a doubt

You will settle by the water before this is over

All my life i've spent wasting time, wasting my time
Just to forget again but i don′t mind
I'll take my medicine and i will be fine
