Prologue:

Binding

In the darkness
I drift alone
Never seeing
Never feeling

Silence grasps me
Shackles to the void
As I scream
To any who might hear

I feel nothing
In this cold
Devoid of sound
Devoid of light

I weep
I scream
Terror seeps in
Death does not come

How long have I been
Alone in this place
Without care
Without love

What is that
My eyes cannot see
My ears cannot hear
Is someone there

Frozen in chains
They rattle and shake
As I struggle
In my silent cage

Something calls
Beyond my silence
Beyond the void
Something new

Are you there
Why won't you help me
Can't you see me
Can't you hear me

Are you blind
Just like me
Are you deaf
Just as I am

Are you bound
In lonely chains
Of fear and pain,
Please

Bind yourself
Here next to me
So maybe together
We won't be so alone
