Bindings and Bounds


Let us go; we are won,

The challenge complete

As we struggle against

he chains in which we are bound.

 

Let us go; victory,

Our fellow seem to walk,

Yet we are still bound

No lovers quarry carry us out

 

Let us go; please don't leave

We are forgot. they have left.

But we won, it matters not,

Bound and beaten is not free.

 

Let us go; now we're fine,

Our arms and feet cannot be held,

I only wish, in our last days,

I could have done more, before we died.
