Stagnation of the Quagmire

The mud it clings like a jealous friend

No path to take no line to bend

A whisper hangs in the heavy air

Promises broken left to despair

Oh the quagmire pulls me slow

No place to run no way to go

Stuck in silence shadows play

Another lost and endless day

The reeds they choke like ancient hands

Grasping tight in sinking sands

Each step I take just pulls me deep

Dreams of freedom I cannot keep

Oh the quagmire pulls me slow

No place to run no way to go

Stuck in silence shadows play

Another lost and endless day

A raven laughs above the mire

Mocking hope and all desire

Its wings beat black against the sky

While here I stay as days crawl by

Oh the quagmire pulls me slow

No place to run no way to go

Stuck in silence shadows play

Another lost and endless day
