The Cage

A lifetime ago, with frozen eyes
They closed the door
Suddenly I realized what locks are for
No trusting them anymore
Lights are out
Empty the stare
Innocent and unaware
Dragged out from my home, my lair
Earmarked me, hurt me
Burned me
The walls around me
Eyes surround me
Feed my fear again
I must be freed or I will die
Before the harvest Moon, my friend
I do not have another year in me
You've gotta set me free
The dream is alive
I can run up the hills every night
Go around and see
Another side of the tree
Freedom has a meaning for me
Howl with me
Fear in the dark, I advice you
You cannot see the eyes
They grow behind you
It's my song they now sing to you
You stand no chance
They'll kill for me
Steal back my freedom
Set me free
It's my minions versus thee
Fiery the vengeance
Hate will drain me
The walls around me
Eyes surround me
Feed my fear again
I must be freed or I will die
Before the harvest Moon, my friend
I do not have another year in me
You've gotta set me free
The dream is alive
I can run up the hills every night
Go around and see
Another side of the tree
All I want is to be untamed and free
Howl and (dream)
The dream is alive
With the Moon on the hills every night
Run around and see
Another side of the dream
Freedom has a meaning for me
You can't tame me
You will remember the day
You crossed my path
Leave me without a guard
And you feel my wrath
What you have done to me
Has made me bitter and cruel
I'll see that all the hate you spread
Returns to you, you, to you
The walls around me
Eyes surround me
Feed my fear again
I must be freed or I will die
Before the harvest Moon, my friend
I do not have another year in me
You've gotta set me free
The dream is alive
I can run up the hills every night
Go around and see
Another side of the tree
All I want is to be untamed and free
Howl and (dream)
The dream is alive
With the Moon on the hills every night
Run around and see
Another side of the dream
Freedom has a meaning for me
You can't tame me
The dream is alive
I can run up the hills every night
Go around and see
Another side of the tree
All I want is to be untamed and free
Howl and (dream)
The dream is alive
With the Moon on the hills every night
Run around and see
Another side of the dream
Freedom has a meaning for me
