My bride, I am chained,  
Cold, alone, and drained.  
World is dark, empty and dim,  
Lost in crowds, all is grim.  

Yours, my heart is bound,  
In silence, no sound.  
Moon fades, night falls,  
Our love fills these souless halls.  

Years lost in the night,  
No end to this blight?
Heart chained, dreams decay,  
Hope and joy fade away.  

For once more, I am yours,
And you are mine again.
