Oh, to be free.


Terror in the night

Comes and grasps me

Drags me down into

the shadow life

Truth is light

Truth will save me

Truth is wise

It will save me

 

I law down and try

To continue breathing

Drowning in a sea

Of uncertainty

Should I run and hide
 
Or stay and fight
 
Should I see the light
 
Or surrender into night
 
 
Who should I believe
 
What should I do
 
Take the easy route
 
And come back to you
 
Or face my fears
 
And unravel me
 
From your web of lies
 
And just be free
 
 
I'm wound and bound
 
But I shall arise
 
To be set free
 
And just see the light
 
Truth is light
 
Truth will save me
 
Truth is wise
 
It will save me
