|
I saw these chains locked on my wrists |
|
Around my neck no shackles missed |
|
I'd tried to shake them off and flee |
|
Nowhere to go without a key |
|
Awoke my eyes drew the first breath |
|
New to the world but not to death |
|
This plan devised in secrecy |
|
May take my life or set me free |
|
No more to work this simple life |
|
To toil only met with strife |
|
The evening still and passed the sun |
|
The night crept in my chance to run |
|
I wait for dark! |
|
I wait for dark! |
|
I wait for dark! |
|
No looking back |
|
I'm running |
|
I'm running out of sight |
|
I wait for dark! |
|
No looking back |
|
I'm running |
|
Running into the night |
|
I wait for dark! |
|
My feet be quick for this racing heart |
|
Come morning's light will the chasing start |
|
With the fear of pursuit comes a fear of the flight |
|
And if I stop they will shoot so |
|
I continue to hide |
|
In the cover of the night |
|
The morning bright all darkness gone |
|
I see the distance fade |
|
I take to flight my fears withdraw |
|
My heart is now betrayed |
|
Not a slave to man anymore! |
|
Not a slave to... |
|
Set me free |
|
Set me free |
|
Hammer these chains and |
|
Set me free! |
|
Break these chains |
|
Break these chains |
|
Unbind my hands and |
|
Pardon me! |
|
Ran all this way with the hope this pain would |
|
Now release |
|
Finally cease |
|
What is this freedom if |
|
I haven'tHaven't peace |
|
Haven't peace? |
|
Serpent you lied and told me to run |
|
I haven't found repose for |
|
I still am undone |
|
This isn't life! |
|
This can't be it! |
|
I've run so far away yet |
|
None of the pieces will fit |
|
I couldn't see |
|
I should have known |
|
This peace abounds at my master's home |
|
Now my heart be still or these feet will fall |
|
All for the will of the master's call |
|
The morning bright all darkness gone |
|
And not afraid |
|
Shown the true light against the dawn |
|
My debt has now been paid |
|
I was lost to save |
|
For I'm the master's slave |
|
For I was lost to save |
|
No looking back |
|
I'm running |
|
Running with all my might |
|
No looking back |
|
I'm running |
|
Running to the true light |
|
I saw these chains fall to my feet |
|
I stand amazed at this work complete |
|
These chains not |
|
Yours, they were my own"Now run no more My son, come home" |
