No more shackles holding me,
No more whips landing on my skin,
No more pain, no more suffering,
I am finally free.

No more hope in feeling the wind in my hair,
No more wishing,
No more cowering, no more mistreatment,
I am finally free.

No more screams, no more tears,
No more spasms,
No more broken jaw,
I

am finally free.

Free to feel the breeze blowing through my hair,
Free to look up the skies as it darkens and thunders,
Free to smell the earth's petrichor,
Free to feel the rain caressing my cheeks,
There are no more shackles holding me.

Free to soothe my soul and calm my nerves,
Free to finally fall in love,
Free to sing songs with my voice,
Free to make my injured flesh rejoice,
There are no more whips landing on my skin.

Free to make my lifeless eyes shimmer again,
Free to cure myself of the pain,
Free to be kissed under the moon,
Free to watch the twinkling stars,
Free to die peacefully on earth,
There is no more pain, no more suffering,
I am finally free.
