Slaves |
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’t |
Haven’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» |
