Em G/B C A
A lifetime ago, with frozen eyes they closed the door
G D/F# Em
Suddenly I realized what locks are for
G/B C A G D/F#
No trusting them anymore, lights are out
Em G/B C G
Empty the stare, innocent and unaware
D/F# Em G/B
Dragged out from my home, my lair
C G D/F#
Earmarked me, hurt me, burned me
C D G C
The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again
D G C
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend
D Em
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free
C G
The dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night
D/F# Em
Go around and see another side of the tree
C G D/F# Em
Freedom has a meaning for me, howl with me
G/B C A
Fear in the dark, I advice you
G D/F#
You can not see the eyes, they grow behind you
Em G/B C A
It's my song they now sing to you
G D/F#
You stand no chance
Em G/B C G
They'll kill for me, steal back my freedom, set me free
D/F# Em
It's my minions versus thee
G/B C G D/F#
Fiery the vengeance, hate will drain me
C D G C
The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again
D G C
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend
D Em
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free
