Over The Hills & Far Away Part Two

How ludicrous that this tale is still the same,
freedom has not been kind to me.


Trapped within these walls of pain,
I begged for mercy-
but denied the chance to live again.


I'll carry it to my grave.
the love that I have for her-
in hopes she will never forget,
that one incredible  night we shared!


I know that in the end-
I'm fooling myself...
She will soon mislead someone else,
leading him straight to where I am.


~ The song will continue on,
until she finds her destiny ~
