Shores merge into horizons My spiritless body can barely be seen On a coast with some faint traces of life Eventualy slipping away like a dream
I was sure I had found what I locked for That I had everything I needed to leave I put my life on its knees before the Lord Adn when he took out my heart , did I grieve
All the words I had heard were killing my soul In silence I suffered them all I was taught to believe in my weakness But something interrupted that call
The shore, where I danced with my life strings Choreographed by something much higher I left all those others behind Sinking, step by step, in the quagmise
Accepting an offer my dance ceased I was given the scissors to cut The strings that bound me to masters That always keept the door shut
Away from the shore I became free With a low price to pay to the Lord What is a soul to a puppet Why should I full on my sword
So look at me now, am I better I am strong, I'm immortal, I'm black The shore has its faults and its quilty ones Why should I want to swim back
