Helpless

See me wandering, in the darkest deep of shadows

The world above so bright, my dearest enemy

Where once lived happiness, where sorrow couldn't bear

But I am drowning here, too far to even care

See me wandering, alone and cold and bare

My deepest memories, no grief, no sadness there

It's dark and cold in here, in this forgotten lair

Loneliness prevails, how could I ever dare

I can't pray for mercy, 'cause there's no soul to hear

So I stay here, helpless, in my remains of sense

There's no place for regret, 'cause only I am here

So I remain helpless, behind this solid fence

Hear me muttering, of long forgotten times

My head is bursting, with long and brutal chimes

Still can see the past, a road enclosed by limes

But haunting through my head, are black, distorted rhymes

Hear me muttering, about my dreadful debt

I can't remember why, so long my soul has slept

Immortal, my regret, endless have I wept

No tears will wash away, the secret I have kept

I can't pray for mercy, 'cause there's no soul to hear

So I stay here, helpless, in my remains of sense

There's no place for regret, 'cause only I am here

So I remain helpless, behind this solid fence

Can't you see why I am weeping,

can't you see that I repent?

No one knows the pain that I feel,

no one knows just what I meant

Years will come and years will pass but

I can't leave this unlocked cell

Leaves will grow and leaves will fall but

endless is this living hell

There's no soul that lives in darkness,

no soul knows eternal pain but

My soul will forever perish,

evermore 'till I'm insane

I can't pray for mercy, 'cause there's no soul to hear

So I stay here, helpless, in my remains of sense

There's no place for regret, 'cause only I am here

So I remain helpless, behind this solid fence
