Too long have I been trapped,
Upon this miserable ship,
Where sickness and misery lies.

My head aches,
My heart breaks,
With every moan I make,
I see nothing here,
But unhappiness and death.

I want to crawl to my friends,
But oh,
How these chains bind me!
Bind me.....

The time of my demise is upon me now,
I await death with open arms,
For my misery may end!

But no!
A doctor comes to see me,
In my miserable state.
He works intently at the bullet lying in my chest,
I scream once,
Twice.

The doctor keeps working,
And I want to scream again,
But I feel woozy....

I awaken to a bright day,
My head pain-free and no injury upon my damaged chest,
But I am still a miserable prisoner.

I fear the worst is coming.
