Caught within a nightmare deep
Broken chains of sad regret
Locked behind these bars of steel
Darkness every corner wept

Walls of stone now caving in
Running at a quicker pace
Drowning in the stench of fear
Lies I wish I could erase

Only but a tiny light
Shines beyond this cavern long
Hope defies my every view
How could one man be so wrong?

On my knees of shredded flesh
Pleading words on weary breath
One more chance I beg this day
Or this end shall be my death

Falling fast and fading far
Pain collects my shattered mass
In a heap my world does lay
Waiting for this life to pass

When a hand appears my sight
Gentle as a fluttered wing
Upon a breeze of whispered air
Warm as any day of spring

Then your perfect face I see
“I’m sorry,” cries my truthful word
“I forgive you” floats my way
The sweetest sound I’ve ever heard

Joy does calm my beating heart
Lifted now I stand so free
Every prayer my mind had found
Answered when you came to me

Lead me for I follow you
Take me from this desperate scene
End this nightmare born in hell
So I may live within your dream
