Break these chains
Let them fall slowly
From me

Let me stand tall
An orb of sight within my palm
Let there be light

Break these chains
Cast them from my ankles
So that I may run free

Let the wind kiss my skin
My legs burning from the weight
Within

My heart molded by cast iron
My soul captured by the miracles of sand
My energy little more then leaking from the keg

Would you guide me with your voice
You don't understand the darkness across the path
You see only light in this land

I see the strangers behind the rocks
I sense the death lingering above
Every breath is a gift
With that gift brings the accursed

What if I wanted to see the light
Could you smash the cast iron?
Silence the noise of the glass?
Patch up my leak?

Break my chains
Free my soul
Metal sparks from the iron
Crackle against the silent wall of night
Crackle in Starlight

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Oscar Wilde
