about

Inspired by the words of the late, great Joseph Campbell who said, “The cave you fear to enter hold the treasure that you seek,” this song explores the blessings of transformation that happen when one faces their fears. Campbell likened this bravery to slaying a dragon, who is then reborn as a benevolent spirit guide. The struggle between fear and dreaming, mind and heart, is in all of us. Here, it is mythologized in such a profound way.

lyrics

The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure that you seek

Travel ever onward, oh, travel ever deep

Beyond that haunting, looming abyss you may come to find

All the chains that bound you were just dragons in your mind



(Chorus) You hide behind your reason and your practicality

Saying common sense is to face reality

What is life if not a bold adventure that waits outside your door

Dare to dream, dare to live your lore



I have traveled hollowness, empty restless depths

Stepping ever carefully, holding my breath

Sure that I would falter, oh, sure I'd meet hope's death

Only to find a shining doorway onto my next quest



(Chorus)



With dragon slain, terror's reign was all a ghastly show

Apprehend the mind's pretenders and you will know

The deep waters, sweet waters, your own holy grail

Will you be the hero of your own journey's tale



(Chorus)



Live your lore, live your lore, Be the hero you've been searching for

Live your lore, live your lore, Be the hero you've been searching for

The cave you fear to enter holds (3X)

The treasure.... that you seek
