Bound

Dancing with the shadows

In our circle on the earth

Singing songs of freedom

Longing to escape the pain

Unwilling slaves unto them

They control our every move

In false security we were thrust

Upon the impoverished streets

To walk among these others

Laden with disease

Where is the promised land

Lost to a forgotten dream

They speak that we are there

And ploy us onward

Despairingly realizing lies

Outpouring down upon us

Drenched with greed

And constantly yearning new blood

We die not for them

Though we would die

To break these shackles

With which they have bound us.
