Ten Years - Pharaoh

Lie alone in the shadows

My own company

Always hiding in silence

Melt in misery

Every night is a horror

Days are sickening

Still the distance glimmers

Freedom beckoning

Ten years I lost my life

Ten years in chains

Ten years I dreamed of you

Ten years your name

It’s a curse in the making

Sick another year

Yet I’m so far from lifeless

Will I die in here?

In a cage for the ages

Fear entombing me And it’s locked from the inside

Trapped without a key

Ten years I lost my life

Ten years in chains

Ten years I dreamed of you

Ten years your name

Suddenly, like a shockwave

The door is opening

And I walk into darkness

Sick and suffering

Demons hide in the open

Wild and hunting me An escape to the outside

Laced with tragedy

Ten years you lived my life

Ten years ashamed

Ten years I hated you

Ten years insane
