Vanquished by my hopes and dreams
Held hostage by reality
I stumble through this thing called life
A prisoner of mortality
I know not what tomorrow brings
My mutinous dreams have fled
My hopes have long since passed away
To never know where they led
Humbled by my crippled past
My spirit, weak and weary
By casting lots, I choose my path
My future, bleak and dreary
Hampered by my lack of faith
I wander to and fro
Absent from my hopes and dreams
I know not where to go
An abyss of hollow understanding
For nothing's as it seems
A life no longer worth living
That's barren of hopes and dreams
