• In a barren land
    with only thoughts to comfort me
    My chains rattle
    bound to another in slavery

    The bull whip stings
    as I bear this cross
    the tears only come
    when I consider my loss

    I face the morning sun
    body aching and heart full
    I can feel you call in my sleep
    Our hearts sway and pull

    Through waves of pain
    you clear the way
    and so I carry on
    I bear this cross through the fray

    Through the fire
    Through the agony
    I walk on bloodied feet
    I walk a trail of misery

    When rest finally besets my eyes
    I find my mind unable to be
    for until sunrise
    Its only you I see
    For in those moments I hold you dear
    To find when I wake, my love not near

    So my love, I struggle with the emptiness within
    my heart lost and soul broken
    to find where freedom will begin
    in a place of light and my love sweetly spoken

    My legs collapse with struggle
    However its not far now
    and though I crawl, I still move forward
    I will make it through somehow.
