She Is The Slave

Alone in the darkness The firelight flickers A cry in the distance That shatters the silence. Lost with her thoughts There's no one to confide in The baby is crying But she doesn't want to hear it Take me away She hears herself say Have I the nerve To run away from it all She is the slave So cold is compassion So strange are these feelings The shadows are watching her She knows it, she feels it Alone in her dark room Her mind holds the key To her memory, to set her free And end this misery Take me away etc She is the slave Sometimes she feels she can't go on She sees her life as past and gone Alternative solutions seem inviting But they're out of reach But soon the time will come To face reality The future holds the key To set her free Is this the end to all her misery? Take me away etc She is the slave
