Cells on its circumference Set around a circle Accidental history Divorced from the world The central iron lattice Open on scrutiny Brooks no privacy Encased in quelling stone
Caste of shadow's bars Over pallid flesh
Dissects tormented souls Prisoners displayed Degraded and exposed Reflecting my despair Surveillance unrelenting Through occulting shutters Dread central Watchtower's Obscure omnipresence
Preys on the deranged Anxious I should break
Reckless zeal Bludgeoning rectitude Betrays in the wretched My proclivity's tremor
Life is joyless striving after joy Only salved with unrelenting scorn
Ruthless shame False instinct to conform Incites murderous intolerance Vacant is the tower
Beneath all reason lies deceit Truth is but the prevailing lie
Authority stands aloof Its never revealing face We chastise ourselves Thought subjugated Coerced emotions Simultaneously Inmate and jailer Fitted for purpose Rehabilitated Released into captivityTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
