Now isn't it a painful case
His life goes by
As days turn nights and nights turn days
Away it flies
And every now and every then
He turns around and thinks of them
Years of oppression
Days of routine
Nights in succession
Lifetime in quarantine
Now isn't it a painful case
He feels alone
No one to sweeten bitter days
Caress his soul
And as the lights go on and out
He looks outside and thinks about
Years of oppression
Days of routine
Nights in succession
Lifetime in quarantine
Now isn't it a painful case
A distant life
And as it drags it leaves no trace
Perhaps a sigh
And as it dims its little spark
The fading light allows the dark to fall upon them
Years of oppression
Days of routine
Nights in succession
Lifetime in quarantine
