Year by Year

In the silence of the night
they came
for...
Whispered shadows took me down
so silently
Chains and darkness
the world disappeared
In a cold damp cellar
swallowed by my fears
Through the cracks, I see the light, so far and faint,
A glimpse of freedom, but it's a distant dream to paint.

Year by year, the sun fades away,
Trapped in shadows, I lose another day.
Year by year, the light is a tear,
A distant memory, drowned in my fear.

In the corner of the cell, I count the days.
Scratching marks upon the walls, in endless haze.
Voices echo in my mind - a haunting song.
Dreams of freedom, but the nights are so long.
Through the bars, I see the sky, so blue and bright.
A stolen moment, but it's gone with the night.

Year by year, the sun fades away,
Trapped in shadows, I lose another day.
Year by year, the light is a tear,
A distant memory, drowned in my fear.

Time stands still, but the heart keeps beating.
In this prison, hope's a fleeting feeling.
Year by year, I fight to stay alive.
In the darkness, I strive to survive.

Year by year, the sun fades away,
Trapped in shadows, I lose another day.
Year by year, the light is a tear,
A distant memory, drowned in my fear.

Year by year, the sun fades away.
Year by year, I dream of escape someday.
Year by year, I hold on tight,
To the hope that someday, I'll find the light.
