F G Am Everlasting, my past song, to my friends Even policemen on the street, smile and say hello! they always bend The telephone it rings, it cuts me, like a knife blade Fever, messing up my mind, there′s no escape Chorus: F Prisoner of the light G My fears are falling Am F G Am Bars on all the doors and windows Prisoner of the light The walls keep closing Caught between the light and shadow As a little child, I'd see the street light glooming through my window Making up my own moves by a shadow dancing on the walls I see the world outside just like another planet and hornet And the monster that creates coming at me from down the hall No escape! Chorus: Prisoner of the light My fears keep falling Bars on all the doors and windows Prisoner of the light The walls keeps closing Caught between the light and shadow I′m a prisoner of the light My fears keeps falling Bars on all the doors and windows Prisoner of the light The walls keep closing Caught between the light and shadow Prisoner of the light!
