Narcissus in chains Head hung in shame Where once was beauty Now nothing remains No other to blame Self-bound and tamed The pitiful, once proud Narcissus in chains A flower in bloom Eventually wilts Bright leaves growing dim As essence is spilt Lifeblood grows weak Decrepit and stained All pretty things fade As the earth lays claim Broken and twisted Like narcissus in chains Reflected in a pool An image shows true Until shattered and torn By a rock falling through Rippling, tattering Illusion no more Cracked and fragmented As one's inner core And what's left on shore Now forever is changed Who made you so Oh, narcissus in chains Time steals beauty And flowers, they rot Clear pools dry up Their waters forgot As things fall to change One still remains: The pitiful, once proud Narcissus in chains

Narcissus in Chains
Narcissus in chains Head hung in shame Where once was beauty Now nothing remains No other to blame Self-bound and tamed The pitiful, once proud Narcissus in chains A flower in bloom Eventually wilts Bright leaves growing dim As essence is spilt Lifeblood grows weak Decrepit and stained All pretty things fade As the earth lays claim Broken and twisted Like narcissus in chains Reflected in a pool An image shows true Until shattered and torn By a rock falling through Rippling, tattering Illusion no more Cracked and fragmented As one's inner core And what's left on shore Now forever is changed Who made you so Oh, narcissus in chains Time steals beauty And flowers, they rot Clear pools dry up Their waters forgot As things fall to change One still remains: The pitiful, once proud Narcissus in chains
