chains can not hold me… though binding the flesh
as was before my heart was blessed
inside these walls… time runs slow
will martyrdom… release my soul … to her

stark… the stench… intense
a dungeon hell no pretense
fix my will and pray
i… will not waste here away

jailed my cause unjust
so said the lords among us
dared by freedom’s taste
i lie here cold in hunger, awake

dissident in agony… a dream diverts my mind
suddenly imagining… her body next to mine

she comes… inviting
she comes… exciting
she comes… like lightning…
she comes

(instrumental break)

SHE

i love her very very much
and conjure visions that we touch
imprisonment insanity
so goes this tragedy for me

scenes pass… dreams fade… a cold reality remains

hopeless… too late… to wonder what she’d say

oh girl… what if… i hold you … and keep you laughing
oh girl… what if… i told you … love’s everlasting

when occasions come that i don’t understand
that i can’t comprehend
i lift my gaze to her appealing…
one glimpse supplies my mortal need
then i think upon the beauty in her face…
the wonder of her grace

i hope she’s waiting….
where fate is saving…
a space divine should i go free

oh… does she see me… like… i see her
no… say her eyes in sympathy … down in me deep
she can conceive a blade of light… cut through the cracks…and illumine herself

she was the only
love can be lonely
how can i learn to live this way

chains can not hold me
time may disown me
why should i breath another day

to live and then to die
the heart unsatisfied
when will this ever end i fear

i laugh and then i cry
the spark inside the eye
holds me inside this lucid dream

she was the only
one that could show me
love can go on beyond this sphere….

she comes
oh lord she comes
yea… she comes
she comes…
she comes to comfort me… she
she is my light

The last song written and recorded for the album, it's our longest. This track is placed after Hypatia on the album where in context, it's a story of a dissident locked in a 4th century dungeon. Ironically, his will to survive was kept alive only by his thoughts of Hypatia, who had been brutally murdered unbeknownst to him.

Jack Wright played most lead guitar, some of rhythm

Special Guest:
Gary Carciello - most of rhythm guitar, some lead
