Today the jackal left me

His grip is now released.

Freed from the cage

Where I pawed for the key.

The bars are through my heart

And lock is through my soul.

My mind was torn to shreds

As I sought to see.

As I stand at the door

The night is now far behind.

I shake with fear at the thought of its grasp.

The cold it touches me like its fingers of death.

It's now my own mind that stands in my path.

When tomorrow I'm strong

And my spirit is regained.

I will laugh

In its face

As it did in my mind.

But now before me lies,

My final task

To make use

Of this key

That now lies in my mind
