I can't stand the thought of captivity,
but rooms with locked doors don't bother me
Lock me in a cell
Throw away the key
Keep my body hostage
for all of eternity
Beat me black and blue
Show me the definition of pain
Take everything I own
and do it all in vain
Strip me of my clothes
and leave me in the rain
Whip me with your whips
Imprison me with your chains
Destroy my mother
and burn my father
Bring tears to my eyes
and laugh in my face
take my body
Do it all in vain
Let my soul fly
I want to sore with the birds
You can deprive me of material
and attempt to hurt me with your words,
but you'll never get rid of me
My soul is not yours
