			<description>Enslaved to the chains that bind.Captive; a prisoner to the demons that possess.Dejected, I remain desperately oppressed.O, the chains that bind when so tightly wound.These chains they weigh me down and I remain forever bound.Unbearable pains render me partially blind.So ..</description>
