There is blackness all around
Not a light to see, nor a sound
To hear
Darkness, and me
And my fear

Held here by my chains
It is always the same
No change
And in my life
No aim

And then I saw you
And like a flash I knew
You came
To set me free at last
From shame

But you passed me by
You didn't smile, or cry
My name
You never knew it
Or my pain

And you have left me once more
Chained to the floor
By my fear
And there is nothing to see anymore
Or to hear.
