Three paces left,
Three paces right,
This is my world,
This is my right.
Walls of grey,
Just one light.
No there’s two,
One is bright.
The one inside,
In here you hide,
You guard it
With your life.
It see’s walls,
It see’s hope,
It’s the one
You cherish most.
The one from before,
The one you lost.
The reason you’re here
Life’s little cost.
Three paces left,
Three paces right,
I will escape,
Forever this night.
