---

Dashed upon the rocks of grief

Cast adrift upon the wretched sea

Thoughts of home frequently

Immobilised by fright.

Deeper down beyond all sound

Surely here is where all life should drown

Forgot the warmth of the sun

It drifts away from sight.

Slave away and wait to die

Waste away for your whole life

But a slave to misery

Curse the day and morning light

Another day I walk with thee

Within these halls that ye may never leave

Haunted by the ghosts of fear

They disappear in time.

From the gates I see the end

Wave goodbye as if you were my friend

Why on me do you depend?

And never leave my side?
