歌词

[00:00.00] Today, the Gods made me bleed again
[00:05.75] They chained my feet, so tight,
[00:11.52] I could barely move
[00:15.63] I bleed through my socks,
[00:20.87] last month was my left ankle,
[00:26.28] today it was the right
[00:29.56] When I wash,
[00:34.43] the soap burns like fire
[00:38.91] but I have to keep my ankles clean
[00:44.39] because I don't have any alcohol,
[00:46.29] or broxide
[00:48.75] nothing to kill a bacteria or infections
[00:55.32] and this place is filthy
[01:00.28] I can't remember what it's like
[01:05.80] to walk as a human being anymore
[01:13.84] my cell is so small
[01:17.56] that I can only take two steps
[01:22.29] any time when I'm brought out,
[01:27.12] I walk briefly or infrequently,
[01:30.89] I have chains on my hands and feet
[01:34.85] as well as guards hanging on me
[01:41.18] And well over sixteen years since I have barely walked anywhere
[01:47.38] sometimes I still can't read my mind about now
[01:56.49] I'm working on my seventeenth year now,
[02:00.91] There were times when I thought,
[02:04.43] "surely, someone's gonna put a stop to this.
[02:11.19] Surely someone is going to do something"
[02:17.60] But they never do
[02:23.00] Time just rolls on
[02:26.90] It's insanity
[02:31.02] I'm truly amazed of what they've gonna allow to get away with
[02:37.87] and for how long
[02:43.74] Oh well,
[02:48.04] there's no good to dwell on it
[02:51.65] either I waste my energy by focusing on things I cannot change
[02:57.98] or I can serve my energy
[03:00.44] and to bled to small things I can change.
[03:06.43] That's what the I Ching calls --
[03:10.77] the taming power of the small.
