Bondage


I know it's a sin But oh, bondage Where did it begin? I can't trace my steps My heart to slaughter Flesh ripped apart Crimson water Cascading in a river I know this is wrong But my voice is stolen from me My ability limited to a pitiful song Attempted through quivering lips Slave to a master unseen This bondage, so powerful None with a desire to intervene Bondage so strong, forever
