Free

The shadows are looming

And soon will come the night

I know that I shouldn't give up hope

But I can barely remember the light



How could I have trusted him?

I could have avoided it all

Love is often said to be a blessing

But it has lead to my greatest downfall



It was in the middle of summer that I met him

In but an instant I soon fell

He had such beautiful eyes

Oh, the stories they could tell



Not a month after we met

He asked me to marry him, and I soon jumped at the chance

If only I had known

that with the devil I was having a dance



He took me to a far off land

Our wedding I had hoped would be the best

My first night away from home

Was the night of my last peaceful rest



I woke up to darkness

And found that our love was but a lie

He and some friends used me as a slave

All I could think or say then was "why?"



In the morning and afternoon they would often beat me

I had no chose but to slave away

What they did to me when night fell

Is something that I would rather not say



It went on like this for a while

Until, while I was contemplating my bad luck

I had at last met my end

And was met with a fatal struck



The meanest among my captors

A big bloke by the name of Jeff

He dealt me many a nasty blow

Until I could only let out one last breath



Not too long afterwards

I felt a sudden fright

Because for the first time in a long while

I caught a glimpse of light



As I made my way towards the light

I suddenly felt such glee

For, after spending so much time in bondage

I was finally free
