When All Hope Has Faded

I wonder what went through the heads of the prisoners when they awaited their final punishment?
I can't imagine the fear and agony they must have felt. But one more group that had a living hell
was the friends and families of the accused ones. They were very much aware of what was going to
happen with their loved ones, and by fear of being wrongly accused they did not have the courage to
visit them one last time. But if they did take the chance to visit them, then maybe they said
something like this.

When the light has sunk into dark
And you feel forsaken by all
When words of lies have covered the truth
Then remember my words to you

When hope of freedom seems so far
And evil seeks wherever you are
When fear torments and gives you no peace
Then remember my words to thee

Show them that your heart's full of joy
They can hurt your body but can't take your soul
When the hour strikes and it's time to go
Then you won't be afraid anymore

Oh, the hours seem so long
And you feel that you just can't take anymore
Just remember that I'm with you my love
And I'll love you forevermore

Show them that your heart's full of joy
They can hurt your body but can't take your soul
When the hour strikes and it's time to go
Then you won't be afraid anymore
