Mighty fetters wrap my shoulders
And as ballast, they pull me into darkness
Like an anchor, I go down lower and lower
And every cell of my body feels
As the sand from the bottom of my skin envelops
Watching the picture of how life as a woman
Leave me and never return

What do I do in the darkness of the ocean?
Pray for its wooden idols
The release itself?
Or succumb-
To memories perfect
As a rainbow after the rain?
No, accept and die like a dirty dog
That's what I remain

Accept and die like a dirty dog, accept and die
As the sand from the bottom of my skin envelops
Watching the picture of how life as a woman
Leave me and never return
I am a slave of mighty fetters
I am a slave and no forces for resistance
I am a slave of mighty fetters, but who threw them at me?
