Crypt

Captured here within a quiet tomb, yet not surrounded by the dead
Covered in a shroud of misery, whispers hover in our midst
Ragged few have shared this consequence, but the choice was ours in a way
Full of hope, yet still despondent, will light ever come again?
Shout, unfortunate warden, the time for chains is ended
Crawl out from this cage, feel warmth upon your face, as you step into the sun
This tender breeze, meant only for the free, which you’ll not be for long,
your time is done
Dark passageways never end, only glimpses caught between the
Bars of our cell, moving forward yet never terminating anywhere
Bound to the crypt
Darkness fills my soul and skin
Bound, I fall from sin
Blackened spirit, past within
The time for chains is ended
Crawl out from this cage, feel warmth upon your face, as you step into the sun
This tender breeze, meant only for the free, which you’ll not be for long,
your time is done
