As the sun rises so too a song within But I'm speechless and without voice I cry and nothing, only stillness and silence Astirred, provoked, I run away, far and away But the goad's constant and the sword's sharp In pain I stumble, in agony I fall, till I stop A prisoner am I, and to forced labour I submit Thus from nothingness must I craft words, Iron from hardest rocks, light from darkness And life from death, decay and despair
