One Day

Escaping from his command
Is all I need to break the trance,
Master has on me.
I stand here hopeless,
Like I have for eternity.
I long to see mama,papa and Lucy,
To feel loved again.
Soon an angel will shine above me
And guide me to happiness,
To protection.
But until then I must surrender
To the blood-thirsty waves of battle,
For there is no other way to survive here.
Still I dream,
One day,
I will be free.
