In Life’s Sweet Prison



Dying inside, lets scream alone
Let lovless torture’s silent drone
Cast silver shadow, deep inside
Dark cave of night with fires ablaze

A dream so close it touches skin
To send the fire like ice within
One troubled heart in cage of lies
So tight around the tears it cries

A ray of light still breaks through day
To take the fears from far away
To banish them to depths of mind
Release the joy that heart can’t find
