Oh, freedom
where have you gone
this old pain
has been going on too long
on high I look for thee
to set my spirit free
but darkness is all I see
thunder and rain in so much pain
wet feet torrents meet
what makes my mind weep
I could no longer hold back
this ancient thunder of my wonder
where are the star lights
that once had shined on high
oh, what had happened to my life?
Oh, freedom where did you go?
why did you leave me in the snow
I am among people I don't know
they're wanting to eat away at my soul
because that is all they know
they stand so bold
trying to take control
empty breath upon my breast
thinking I was dead
doubts made its round
pain is the game
obey the king they all scream
disobey you will pay
envy is the mask of their love
darken dreams is to the unknown
dark memories are where it all starts
that cuts deep into the heart.
