Freedom
The sun rises in this cold little shack
As I ready to go to work, breaking my back
The sun will smolder and scorch my skin
But dare I stop and He will whip me again
I dream of a daring escape
One that I soon hope to make
As I have heard that the north will set me free,
Free from this grotesque misery
On the morrow is what I have planned
For my escape from Hells' cold, dark hand
As a new day breaks in the cold little shack
I have nothing with me by the cloth on my back
From Him I am getting away, running
Running, dogs barking, running,
Climb a tree to escape the hounds from Hell
He pulls a gun. This doesn't end well.
The sun will rise again on the morrow
My escape fulfilled, though full of sorrow.
