Black Halo

One of these days I will be free
My parents will finally understand
and all that I've worked for will go down, down, down
My final breath will be my first
Into a life of death
Pain and lies and held-back tears
Will be a thing of the past
I will be free
as free as an angel
an angel with a halo as black as the night
flying and flying past all the stars
into a place where there is only dark
misery and melancholy Will no longer hold me captive
like chains that grapple at my wrists
no, when I die they will break free
and all the rest I'll leave behind me
