[Intro]
I'm sitting here in my empty cell
It's dark and drab and damp
They throw me crusts to eat
Drink water from the well
I was playing my part in this dreadful war
When someone ran me through
They bound me up in chains
And that's the last I knew

[Verse 1]
The guards are watching day and night
And they observe each move I make
I wonder if they'll let me out alive
I know there's no way to escape

[Verse 2]
I know the feeling of rejection
To be imprisoned for no crime
So God please take me out of here
You are my one hope at this time

[Verse 3]
Why are those people shouting?
Is the battle lost or won?
Now the footsteps of the guards
Will my chains be tightened or undone?
