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 d**h
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
