~*~ Release Me ~*~

Standing here in this place
The sun is sinking low
I turn, but cannot see your face
Still it is you, I know

Your words are lost upon the wind
I cannot hear your voice
My heart feels as if it has sinned
As I have to make a choice

My eyes lift to look at you
My hands curl to plead
If my dilemma you knew
Would it mean that I'd be freed?

Release me
I beg of you
Cut the chains that bind

Release me
Set me free
I cannot live confined

Release me from this jail
Set me free from these chains
Cut me loose from this hell
While something of my soul remains

I'd prostate myself at your feet
If I knew you'd give your ear
My  lips would admit defeat
If they only knew you'd hear


The sun sets further below the hills
I slide tearful to my knees
Desperation haunts my voice
I echo all my pleas

Release me
I beg of you
Only you can do this

Release me
Set me free
Turn torture into bliss

I can feel the chains around my heart
I can feel the cold that burns inside
Freedom only you can impart
I've struggled and I tried

Here within this darkening night
Cut me free from all these ties
Return me to the sunlight
 My love for you was not lies

I cannot live in exiled misery
Without your warm embrace
I would sustain any injury
To once again see your face.

Release me
I beg of you
It's you I long for

Release me
Set me free
Or break my heart more.
