I watch it crumble and break down into pieces
As I also watch myself fall in to that same dark abyss
I tried to grab the rope with my fist
Yet it was hopeless since it always slipped

Every second feels like forever
Trapping me into agony making it even harder
I tried so hard to resist at least to make it better
Yet it was put in vain for hope was not even there like ever

I want to escape so bad that I am willing to do anything
Yet it seems to be pulling me back harder than I am imagining
The chain that kept me trapped and connected to that abyss was being pulled down
It hurts so much that I cried for help yet there's not even a sound

Chains that restrains my hands and feet are tight
A pair of hands on my eyes blocking my sight
Preventing my eyes to see any light
I stayed there begging someone to help me and be my knight

Yet no one came even after the long wait
Even when the night passed by and morning came
The seemingly endless sweetness of sugar cane
Was now replaced by the bitterness that coames with the betrayal and being abandoned that I'm feeling

The darkness enveloping the place
Seems like night there will forever stay
I tried asking for someone's sympathy and embrace
Yet they only gave me null and void eyes and their poker face

Horror consumed me and it covered my face
Making my mind and heart beat as if it finished a marathon or a race
I tried to use my wings to escape but it was a hopeless case
It was like patching the million pieces from a broken vase

Soon enough my heart can feel nothing
Numbness and void taking over everything
I thought the light will never came as I was hoping
Yet there he stood with his arms that seems to be reaching something

Something or someone, it doesn't matter
For when I heard him speak everything became clearer
I found light and it eliminated the darkness and made my chains shatter
The light made the shadow go away but also darker

But it doesn't matter if it intensified
The thing that matters is that I was resurrected from being mummified
I thought I would forever be trapped in darkness terrified
Yet there was an angel in his shining armor who saved me and gave me light
