All alone in the darkness
Waiting not for my spirits to be lifted,
Most often by nothing
But alas!
I was brought bold and mighty into this world
Nothing to stop me dead in my tracks
As I watch the clock tick,
And listen to the bells chime,
I play my deep and grand song
It booms throughout the mansion
My mansion, my kingdom!
But nonetheless if we are all honest,
Which never happens any longer,
I am but a lonely master of my own fate
And my fate is where life will take me
