A Prison Made of Skin
from “Madrigals from Zebula” - SSATTB a cappella - Original text - English - Hard
“A prison made of skin that limits my genderless soul,
and teaches me how to be a slave
A prison made of skin that tells me I don't have control,
and shows me the devil's face.
This prison strips away the pleasure of my choices.
One day the silence will be louder than all voices.
Either nourishing the soil with my bones or polluting the air with my ashes.
The memory of me will be surrounded by gravestones
And I will finally be free from life's backlashes
I will fly like a cloud. I will be truly free from this prison made of skin
I will be free.”
