Broken Bonds

Chains
bonds of steel
binding tight
against my will

freedom calls
but i cannot answer
chains have silenced
and even killed her

when will it end
i cry out to be free
wanting back
that part of me

the true me
silenced so long
banished forever
because she didn't belong

i need her back
she is me and i am her
without one
there is not the other

a light shines through
shattering the dark
i can see her again
as she rises like a hawk

breaking her chains
smashing them to dust
she soars through the air
as she knows she must

i join her as one
the bond fusing again
as right as it was
before it all began

spreading my wings
though tattered and torn
the healing may hurt
but a hurt gladly borne

oh to be free
free from this pain
free from the hurt
free from the strain

never before
and never again
now it is he who is banished
the maker of the chain
