A Man No Longer
I have forgotten the taste of the sun,
trapped in this brig of despair,
As we all have one-by-one.
It's more than a man can bare.
None can escape,
oh we tried,
the struggle, the scrape,
for even a ray of sunshine.
Ashes to ashes,
dust to dust.
How cruel can fate be?
Did the priests of old know,
how the sun flashes,
- oh clouds of woe -
through my brother's ashes.
When the dust settles,
another soul is claimed.
I doubt it be the pearly gates,
that for us awaits.
Oh how the darkness suffocates.
Its hunger is insatiable.
A pity indeed,
that mortal men are so breakable.
Innocent or guilty,
it takes no care,
it's more than a man can bare.
