My chains grow stronger, 
And I grow weak. 
I look upon my crippling life 
And stare at God and say 
“I put faith in you, 
Yet you betrayed me.” 

I cannot escape, I am bound. 
In the skies I see a phoenix 
Whom Death kills with its hellhound. 
A tear rolls down my cheek, 
These chains make me weak. 
I cannot escape, I am bound. 

My life laughs at my face, 
Calling me a disgrace. 
I am suffocating, 
I am dying. 
And now in the darkness I hear Death’s hellhound. 
I cannot escape, I am bound. 

I don’t want to live 
For I have nothing for you I can give. 
I am detached, I am desolate. 
Satan, take me! For God has betrayed me. 
And now in the darkness I hear Death’s hellhound. 
I cannot escape, I am bound. 

There’s so much of mutiny, 
THat in the abyss cries my destiny. 
I am crumbled, I am crippled. 
I am destroyed, I am shackled. 
And now in the darkness I hear Death’s hellhound. 
I cannot escape, I am bound. 

My survival is threatened. 
I pray you, bury me in Eden. 
Bury me away from here, 
Else in my grave, I’d shed a tear. 
And now in the darkness I hear Death’s hellhound. 
I cannot escape, I am bound. 

There’s no beacon of light 
Which can aid my flight. 
I lie still, waiting for Satan. 
My breathe comes as labour, and I don’t want to live. 
And now in the darkness I hear Death’s hellhound. 
I cannot escape, I am bound. 

It is all my fault, 
And it is what I’ll end. 
I am still ready to wait 
For in thee, I have endless faith. 
And now in the darkness I hear Death’s hellhound. 
I cannot escape, I am bound. 

A tear again rolls down my cheek 
And disappears into nothingness. 
In my dreams, I used to hear my life say 
“For you, I’ll always be there, like air”. 
And now in the darkness I hear Death’s hellhound. 
I cannot escape, I am bound. 

I’ve seen so much pain, 
Given so much pain. 
I breathe my last not because of these shackles 
But because of this overwhelming guilt. 
And now in the darkness I hear Death’s hellhound. 
I cannot escape, I am bound. 

I feel no pain, no pain. 
I am going numb, I am going away. 
The wind caresses the leaves, 
And tingles my body. 
And now in the darkness I hear Death’s hellhound. 
I cannot escape, I am bound. 

It is now time. 
I must leave this brutal world. 
Bury me but remember me. 
I’ll watch over thee like air. 
And now in the darkness, I hear thy cries. 
I am escaping, I am no more bound.
