Andromeda
'Neath the moonlight,
Standing still,
Chained to rock,
Against my will,
Staring at the ocean deep,
That seems to me like eternity,
I strive so hard to free my chains,
But even as the moon doth wane,
I still stand,
Chained to that rock,
And my strength begins to fade,
Every crashing wave I hear,
Brings on bitter,lonely tears,
I try to tell myself that
Someone will take me away,
Away to a better place,
But as my consciousness falls astray,
I start to despair,
That someone else,
Will never come to save me from my lair,
But then I hear a voice,
That tells me to hold on,
Just a little longer,
She said she won't be long,
Then I feel my chains are gone,
I'm wrapped in loving arms.
