The Road Not Mine

This road is not mine, 
I stumbled at the precipice, 
The darts struck while i slept, 
Ten thousand enemies in ambuscade, 
with fiery arrows drawn for my destruction, 
made a mockery of my commitment. 

The garment is not mine, He tore it 'afore' 
I abandoned it for the way, 
The dregs, was my ruin. 
But my price is paid 
I have tasted freedom
I will flee to the city 

There is nothing for me here, 
I shall not bargain, 
and if death be my lots in this fight,
by Blood not mine , but his 
Let me not return to captivity.
