Many tears I've solemn cried
But in pain refuse to hide
Not for one who lied I lied
For I'm faithful; and have pride
In fathoms like ocean pure and wide
Decline the ticket for torment's ride
Though you will my hope to die
I can dream; I see the sky!
You sing a *******'s lullaby
And wonder why I'm mute and shy
Do you expect my joy enwrapt
For thee who my debasement clapped
Willed for me in torment trapped
Well try a bit harder perhaps!
For my mind's stronger than the tide
Have Heart and guts of queen inside
Fool takes me for a docile bride
To Hades, on a ghoullish ride
But to faith I abide
Commit to Heaven, not in hell's court tried
To righteousness I am allied
That light in me that never died
It was for Love the poets cried
Therein I free, my heart flied
I watched it soar with passion, pride
As I with angelic fate collide
Wended to freedom soared and glide
I am faithful, and have pride
You pray for bars behind my eyes
Forget that I can see the sky
Blessed by her enchanted shroud
My mind as lonely as a cloud
Blast by accusations loud
Is it me so vain and proud?
When vilest deeds on my mind crowd
And accusations roared and howled
But I am wed to brighter day
Unencumbered by insults you say
I do not see you on my way
With friends true I frolick, play
And soothe, assuage my sad dismay
For having been caged for the day
But to you I have never bowed
I have faith, and I am proud
Call me **** when I'm rare as earth
But Love will be found even in Love's dearth
For we her wisdom surely hath
Not embroiled in Devil's wrath
But you are faithless; also wrong
And did not account that I am strong
Casts words that render me as thing
But my mind hath meaning, and it sing
On golden wing aspiring
Grafting, never tiring
You try to rule me like Hong Kong
But your time's up; I've heard the gong
In my mind the love was strong
I am faithful; this my song
