Alone, Alone, ~0~
Isolated, in the cell, ~1~
Padded walls, for my confort ~2~
Alone, Alone,~3~

Alone, Alone,
I scream and scream, ~4~
But all is silent ~5~
Alone, Alone,

Alone, Alone,
I fight and fight, ~6~
But my jacket is just to tight ~7~
Alone, Alone,

Alone, Alone,
The stench of rotting flesh, ~8~
The taste of bitter sweet sweat ~9~
Alone, Alone,

Alone, Alone,
Forever I shall lay, ~10~
Until my very last day ~11~
Alone, Alone.~12~

But wait, whats that? ~13~
A light from behind the door ~14~
Voices and footsetps loud and clear ~15~
Hope arises from the pit of my soul ~16~
The freedom bell rings its toll~17~

Then, a dim realization ~18~
Silence, the bell stops ringing ~19~
Silence, my heart stops pounding ~20~
Silence, then a single hollow click ~21~
The door opens, and freedom waits...~22~

A faint odor ~23~
The dream now over ~24~
The darkness back ~25~
My cell intact~26~

Alone, alone, ~27~
Again...~28~
