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...

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...

She is the slave
