With every hour spent
In mindless work
My Resolve is weakened
With every strain
Black and blue bruise
Broken blister
And back ache
My Resolve is weakened
With every moment spent
In hunger pains
My Resolve is weakened
With every legal claim
And court issues
My Resolve is weakened
With every cold and lonely afternoon
Sun lost to this winter rotation
Finding friends far away
My Resolve is weakened
Weakened till I am beaten
And either my death or
The doldrums take me
