Dark Hair Down

DownIt was his neck or her wristClean nails on iron fistDreams of peace beyond the wallShe'd cry out for mercy but she had no voice at allHereHere and now it endsThis quiet victoryHer promise she would make amendsHe lay not yet cold on the groundThis day of all days she would wear her dark hair downThis time the wheel has come aroundFree of her cage she crows with a fearless sound"Your fists can't hurt me now"A fearless soundShe'll wear her dark hair downDownAnd blood brought the answer that time could not provideScars that read like home could hideHer prison swallowed everything but piercing open eyesShe proudly bore the markWhere his brand had met her headShe spat "The coward could not kill what was already dead."Dark hair downThis time the wheel has come aroundFree of her cageA fearless soundStand and fightThis is my salvationBlood for blood my loveWith a fearless sound"Your fists can't hurt me now"A fearless soundShe'll wear her dark hair downBlood for blood my love
