Grief, her sole companion, for many years she tried Her soul, her heart, drowned in tears of tragedies by night She knew it would be coming, she'd never sleep again The shadows would be haunting, as sure as blood in veins She never spoke a mouthful, she'd never look at you Always was the quiet type, so no one ever knew Of how it kept returning, to the place she stayed Her chastity was dying, with every wound it made A shroud I need of the darkest night Sheltering me and mine Please wash away the pain with time Warm my soul with light And bless my feet with a holy might Leaving the past behind When hope would come to visit, once in every while She could stop the strain of thoughts, of how she'd been defiled And making plans of running, away to far off lands One day she'd take her life, take it in her own hands Persuasive ghosts would whisper, please don't go away Thinking of the life she'd leave, it only made her stay It kept her in her prison, it tied her up real good She carved in vain for freedom, like it knew she would Years of molestation, leaving only pain Froze the warmth out of her heart, broke her soul and chains Then, silently she left, without a single word She took along her baby and that's all we heard
