And now I sit inside my glass prison, Screaming to be let free, But all my efforts are in vain, You can't even hear me. Look into my tear stained eyes And tell me what you see Am I so completely dead to you, That you don't even see me? Watch the tears fall down my face, An endless stream of forgotten hate, Fall into an unknown world, Follow the road of fearful fate. Banish the light from inside your mind, Let the dark consume your soul. Lose yourself inside this hell, Cause yourself to lose control. Rest your head and close your eyes, Soon the pain will fade, Slip away into your dreams. No longer be afraid. I feel my body growing cold. Shaking, shivering, fade away, Trembling under Death's sweet kiss, I'm too far led astray. Leave me helpless on the ground, Left alone to face this death, Fatal numbness pass over me, And I breathe my one last breath. My screams have been silenced, My tears have been dried, As I lay upon the earth, And let this life subside. Let the dark consume the soul. Pass into eternity, Thus the ending of this life, Of this forgotten sanity
