(V)

Mother my soul has been wandering

for ages and ages seeking rest

(while) you have kept me imprisoned

in countless cages of flesh

You kept me reeling in blindness

kept me living in fear and shame

always promising freedom

kept me crawling and calling in pain

(Pre)

Mother please have mercy

Mother let me live

(Chorus)

Mother of darkness

I've been lost in your shadow

Near the point of no return

While you taught me to fear you

You have kept me in chains

Stealing all my dreams

(V2)

Falling under the spell of my captor

I began to believe as true

The dim rays of hope you would show me

as long as I bowed down to you

But when I reached for the daylight

I awakened your scorn and your rage

when I tried to escape you

you awaited me with a new cage

(Pre)

Mother please have mercy

Mother let me live

(Chorus)

Mother of darkness

I've been lost in your shadow

Near the point of no return

You want me to fear you

You wanna keep me in chains

Stealing all my dreams

(Chorus)

Mother of darkness

I've seen through your shadows

No more will I return

I no longer fear you

I am free of your chains

You will steal no more of my dreams
