Woman In Chains
The depth of pain held silent
is beyond measure
When a woman's soul collaspes
while shackled in a pit filled with vipers
whose eyes see only flesh upon your bones
ravaged to satisfy their empty desires
Should death be a choice?
Leave despair or tremble in its wake
clinging to a life of abuse
left hopeless dangling in darkness
to be used on demand
a continous wanton need by cold face men
The strength to fight lays within
death preferred or subjection
by chains carried on blood soaked shoulders
through timeless minutes which seem like days
of torment and tears felt by eyes closed shut
through an eternity of insanity
The choice is yours
free yourself from your fear of death
even until your last breath
it is the only path cold faced men understand
their needs are less important than your ability
to say...no more
many will perish before change
Men know, this is the price of freedom
it's the only thing they fear
the willingness to die
