Master, Oh, Master

MASTER, OH MASTER

I am scared

In this lonely word

Where I feel

I should only be dead

I struggle to survive

But it does me no good

And I only feel

More desolate and frightened

Than I ever have before

Death comes in the night for me

And it's ll that I hoped it would be

The darkness, the coldness, the chill's in my spine

Yet everything just feels so fine

With a sinister grin and a spring in my walk

I leave this place to go and talk

And to find the one that I call master

The one that makes my heart beat faster

I find a new home and I get a new life

And my master, well, he gives me a wife

The wife of a dead man is what he calls her

When I pronounce my love for her at the altar

We are together for many years

Even throughout all of the tears

Until one day she dies

And then once again she lies

Under the ground

Oh, it's so profound

And here I am

Once again

Finding myself scared
