S
Oh how long have I been here
bound by these chains
A while I do fear
in this castle deranged
Above me, so poisonous, it crawls
the great deadly vine
Now without leaf, the last one falls
in the soundless wintertime
Just a few rays of sunlight
shines in and down upon me
I've tried and tried with all of my might
but from these chains I'll never be free
Funny now that I think of it
a little light in the dark
Here on the floor I do sit
an only soul with a lonely heart
A gentle wind blows through my hair
the only friend I have
No solidity, just but the air
with no feelings good or bad
Though one comes by to feed me
he never says one kind word
He but comes and goes to leave me
like this, a captive bird
Oh how long shall I be here
bound by these chains
A death angel draws near
in this castle deranged
Inside me, so poisonous, it crawls
all through my mind
Like a leaf, my hope falls
in the soundless wintertime
Just a few days of life left
that's all been allotted me
I've tried and tried and done my best
but from death's chains, I'll never be free
Funny now that I think of it
a little light in the dark
Here on the floor, I do sit
an only soul, with a lonely heart
A gentle voice calls through the air
the only friend I have
No solidity, but it's still there
I sort feelings good and bad
Though one comes by to feed me
he never says one kind word
The voice comes and goes to leave me
in peace, though a captive bird
For not long will I be here
bound by these chains
My God takes my fear
in this castle rearranged
Choosing me, so precious, he calls
heart, soul, and mind
Now I'll leap, through broken walls
spring has subdued wintertime
Only the Son gives me life
shining in and down upon me
I've prayed and prayed with all of my might
that from these chains, I shall be free
Funny now that I think of it
a little light in the dark
Here on the floor, I do sit
a saved soul, with a newborn heart
Oh how long have I been here
bound by these chains
A while I do fear
in this castle deranged
Above me, so poisonous, it crawls
the great deadly vine
Now without leaf, the last one falls
in the soundless wintertime
Just a few rays of sunlight
shines in and down upon me
I've tried and tried with all of my might
but from these chains, I'll never be free
Funny now that I think of it
a little light in the dark
Here on the floor, I do sit
now a soul, with a change of heart
A gentle wind blows through my hair
no other friend I have
No solidity, but he is there
the best feeling I ever had
The one comes by to feed me
Thanks I utter one kind word
He now stops before going to leave me
Don't think, I haven't heard
Oh how long have I came here
each day the same
Yet only now I hear
in this castle deranged
From you, so politely, no brawls
you have some mind
taking that leap, but thanks falls
like snow in wintertime
Just a few days of sunlight
shines in and down upon thee
you've tried and tried with all of your might
but from these chains, you'll never be free
Funny now that I think of it
oh little sprite in the dark
Here on the floor, you do sit
trying my soul, with your stoney heart
Though the wind blows through your hair
it's the only friend you have
No solidity, but just the air
fleeing like unanswered prayers you've had
When I've come by to feed thee
you've never said one kind word
Do you think anyone's going to believe me
for today, only I've heard
Oh how long shall you be here
bound by these chains
This your very last year
in this castle deranged
Choosing me, so precise, my king calls
now pay me mind
Like a leaf, your head falls
to be soundless for all time
Just a few moments of sunlight
before the guillotine falls down upon me
I've tried and tried with all of my might
but from this shame I'll never be free
Funny now that I think of it
that little light in the dark
as here on the floor I do sit
the only soul given a new heart
Guilty the voices call to the air
who's that friend you have
Do you believe he's still there
with you through good and bad
The one who comes by to feed thee
do you have any final word
The Spirit comes and will never leave me
my peace, though a captive bird
Oh how long have we been here
bound by your claims
For each and every year
in castle dungeon deranged
Excuse us, oh princess, that calls
to no one with soul and mind
Like a leaf, your head soon falls
to be soundless for all time
I've given you moon and sunlight
shining in and down upon thee
I've tried and tried with all of my might
to loosen your chains so you'd be free
Funny how you never thought of it
I am that light in the dark
Here on the earth you do sit
judging this soul with empty heart
Guilty the voice called through the air
killing the only friend you had
You stopped believing that I was there
with you through good and bad
The one who came by to feed thee
do you have any final word
The Spirit comes and soon you shall see
that I, free the captive bird
Oh how long have I been here
bound by these chains
A while I do fear
in this castle deranged
Above me, so poisonous, it crawls
the Devil's deadly vine
Now without leaf, that unmasked angel falls
the trumpet sounds his end of time
bound by these chains
A while I do fear
in this castle deranged
Above me, so poisonous, it crawls
the great deadly vine
Now without leaf, the last one falls
in the soundless wintertime
Just a few rays of sunlight
shines in and down upon me
I've tried and tried with all of my might
but from these chains I'll never be free
