Bm                      A
I saw these chains locked on my wrists
  G               F#
Around my neck no shackles missed
 Bm                      A
I'd tried to shake them off and flee
  G               F#
Nowhere to go without a key

  Bm                      A
Awoke my eyes drew the first breath
   G               F#
New to the world but not to death
  Bm                      A
This plan devised in secrecy
  G               F#
May take my life or set me free
  Bm                      A
No more to work this simple life
  G               F#
To toil only met with strife
  Bm                      A
The evening still and passed the sun
  G               F#                 F#
The night crept in my chance to run

[Verse]
           Bm     A     G
I wait for dark!
 F#        Bm     A     G
I wait for dark!
       F#
(I wait for dark!)
Bm        A
No looking back I'm running
G           F#
I'm running out of sight

(I wait for dark!)
Bm        A
No looking back I'm running
G           F#
Running into the night

[Verse]
  Bm                      A
My feet be quick for this racing heart
  G               F#
Come morning's light will the chasing start
  Bm                      A
With the fear of pursuit comes a fear of the flight
  G               F#
And if I stop they will shoot so I continue to hide
          (F#)
In the cover of the night


  Bm                      A
The morning bright all darkness gone
   G               F#
I see the distance fade
  Bm                      A
I take to flight my fears withdraw
  G               F#
My heart is now betrayed

Bm   F     G       F#
Not a slave to man anymore!
 Bm    F
Not a slave to...

[Verse]
Bm
Set me free
Bm
Set me free
G
Hammer these chains and
F#
Set me free!

Bm
Break these chains
Bm
Break these chains
G
Unbind my hands and
F#
Pardon me!

    Bm                      A
Ran all this way with the hope this pain would
 G
Now release
  F#
Finally cease
  Bm                      A
What is this freedom if I haven't
  G
Haven't peace
  F#
Haven't peace?

[Verse]
    Bm                      A
Serpent you lied and told me to run
   G               F#
I haven't found repose for I still am undone
  Bm
This isn't life!
  A
This can't be it!

   G
I've run so far away yet
   F#
None of the pieces will fit
   Bm
I couldn't see
    A
I should have known

  G                  F#
This peace abounds at my master's home
    Bm                      A
Now my heart be still or these feet will fall
     G               F#
All for the will of the master's call

  Bm                      A
The morning bright all darkness gone
  G               F#
And not afraid
  Bm                      A
Shown the true light against the dawn
  G               F#
My debt has now been paid
Bm    A    G   F#
I was lost to save
Bm    A    G   F#
For I'm the master's slave


(For I was lost to save)

[Verse]
  Bm                      A
No looking back I'm running
  G               F#
Running with all my might
  Bm                      A
No looking back I'm running
  G               F#
Running to the true light

 Bm                      A
I saw these chains fall to my feet
   G               F#
I stand amazed at this work complete
 Bm                      A
These chains not Yours, they were my own
   G               F#
"Now run no more My son, come home"
