I'm sitting here in my empty cell, //
It's dark and drab and damp. //
They throw me crusts to eat //
Drink water from the well. //
I was playing my part in this dreadful war //
When someone ran me through: //
They bound me up in chains, //
And that's the last I knew.
The guards are watching day and night //
And they observe each move I make //
I wonder if they'll let me out alive //
I know there's no way to escape
I know the feeling of dejection: //
To be imprisoned for no crime //
So God please take me out of here //
You are my one hope at this time.
Why are those people shouting? //
Is the battle lost or won? //
Now the footsteps of the guards //
Will my chains be tightened or undone?
