The Shield - Solar Fake

Marked down, the innocent victim, blindfold

Lost your bearings in the dark

The endeavour to sharpen the senses

That won’t get you out of here

No words break through the silence in your head

As thoughts crash on the walls

And you stumble again and imminently will fall

Your pleading shall never be heard

But the shield was torn apart

As you try not to hide again

Your shield was torn apart

…defenceless and naked

But the seed that was sown has grown

Without any selection

The seed they’ve sown has grown

No chance now of correction

It hurts, your body is aching

Reflecting the pain you have felt all those years

So invariable, every day

With no light to lead you out

It’s useless wasting thoughts on escaping

To wash away all the tears of the nights when you cried

In pure isolation
