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 espace



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
