From Here To Eternity
I am abandoned on this moonless night
What little remained of this once bright life
Seems, finally, to have faded from sight
Nightmares and black dreams, once rare, are now rife
This space around me used to be so large
But walls press a little closer each day
My waking hours are spent on just one charge
To push them back and hope this time they’ll stay
In lands beyond this world I find some sun
Where misty rivers flow to salty sea
On willow banks my heart and I are one
And from the pain of here I am set free
So now the mission that I have to face…
Is make that land become the only place ~
