Dark Land

the people are insane
and their all in chains
bonded to their fear or life
and I am one of them
the nights are long
and filled with pain
enclosing me in their arms of shame
theres no way out
no matter how hard I try
I can't find the key that will set me free
someone please help me
my freedom rots away
into an unknown feeling of decay
the end is near
I see it there
salvation is near
finally I can rest at last
