The silence here is deafening

Within shelves of stone

The crumbling echoes on

The thirst inside is wearying

Just the quick match lights

The darkness that fell by

I can hear outside this grave

The calling of my name in waves

Distant, dull like light through mist

 The fragments of the life I’ll miss

I can feel outside this cave

The warming rays of sun

On my skin that’s dry by torture worn

The despair that just has been born

Overcome the day

Let now come what may

Here in darkened dreams

The calm that keeps me here

Let life have its way

Without a part I play

Wake the sleeping ghost

That will guide my final ride

I don’t know how time has passed

Caught in circles here

Of reverend melodies

Let them surrender futile hopes

I feel secure

I this stony womb
