Nineteen Scars

In these cold walls where shadows grow
Lost all hope in what I know
Fifteen months might seem so brief
But every day brings new grief

Convicted for another's sin
Paying price for crimes within
Truth's forgotten, fear remains
Till you appeared through iron chains

Nineteen scars upon her spine
In her eyes, a fire divine
Something pulls me through the night
Into her light

Whispers echo through prison nights
Don't meet her gaze, she's beast inside
Nineteen scars mark her soul
But I see what they don't know
Where they break souls into steel
Your tenderness made my heart heal
Nineteen scars, nineteen ways
Why I'll love you all my days

Nineteen scars upon her spine
In her eyes, a fire divine
Something pulls me through the night
Into her light

They call her wild
Nineteen scars tell her tale
In her eyes, I see the pain
Drawing me through darkness again
Again
