Eloy - Imprisonment lyrics

rate me

I'm sitting here in my empty cell<br />

It's dark and drab and damp:<br />

They throw me crusts to eat<br />

Drink water from the well.<br />

I was playing my part in this dreadful war<br />

When someone ran me through:<br />

They bound me up in chains,<br />

And that's the last I knew.<br />

The guards are watching day and night,<br />

And they observe each move I make:<br />

I wonder if they'll let me out alive<br />

I know there's no way to espace<br />

I know the feeling of dejection:<br />

To be imprisoned for no crime:<br />

So God please take me out of here<br />

You are my one hope at this time.<br />

Why are those people shouting?<br />

Is the battle lost or won?<br />

Now the footsteps of the guards<br />

Will my chains be tightened or undone?
