The sun doth shine but I see not
lost in heart and in thought
wanting more then pain and sorrow
lost I search kindness borrow
alone alone is what I feel
dark and down cold as steel
reach I grasp at what I yearn
kicked and punched at every turn
strong in stature big and tall
heart is broken feel so small
alone I am darkness takes
empty now my heart so aches
hold on me I can't break free
all around I look I see
who alone can loss these bonds
wrapped around so tight and strong
free at last to which I fight
bite and claw towards the light
the mask I ware to none it seems
can see the fight inside of me
so I fight alone courage past
will not take will not last
I alone will fight I must
or will crush me into dust
plea to gods are never there
answer none seems not fare
as I sit bound with chain
struggle must my mind is sane
break free break free I so ponder
chains of hell grow ever stronger
escape somehow but must I die
cold and limp here I lye
soft and shallow my heart beats slow
death is coming black as coal
I cry in pain I am dejected
never again to be erected
tears fall silent down my face
seem to me I've lost the race
