Ravaging of Souls

I am blinded from the light, 
Locked up in chains 
My soul cannot be freed
As the darkness is my friend

I don’t want to live in this world of none
I don’t want to see the sun rise again.
I don’t want to suffer from the hollowness
I don’t want to see the joy of other’s

I am only respected among dogs
Others look at me as if I’m a dog
My world is small, my world is black.
If only I would live another day,
My world would have been darker

Life is nothing but pain
Life is nothing but unfinished dreams
Life is nothing but the destroyer of hope
Life is nothing but hunger

I don’t dream, I don’t love
For dreams will be shattered
Hearts will be broken
I show no mercy, I have no choice
The rich and wealthy have made me this
I am hunger, I am pain, I am poverty
