Trapped I: Dearly Beloved Child

Trapped I: Dearly Beloved! 

Dear Son

Sailing away across the strides of the stormy seas

The transparent glass cage makes it very easy to see.

The last picture of you clutching to your mother tight !

The silent tears, the hope of a better future.

That picture is vivid in my mind today

It won't be erased!

As I waved goodbye, I knew I'll be your eyes

I'll see the world through you!

Across the stormy cruel oceans 

You're always in my heart, very close. 

I am writing to you, dear son

To give you word, from the dungeon!

You're never alone, I'm with you 

Please, open your ears and heart

To the pricking words of your father...
