Party To An Escape

Quick
Grab your things
Our ride's here
Our plane goes out tonight

Yes,
I hear her crying
But we're leaving
Your sister here

They'll put a cloth
Upon her head
bind her feet
make her say her prayers

then she'll bow
in the city
they command in the
kingdom of their way

No, I can't
stop him now
your father's ways
can't be hidden

For they roll
as violent oceans
And there's a reason
why I'm not here
anymore

I'm a vessel
for your needs
tell me anything
Without fear

And I will
grant your wishes
for I taught you
how to lead

The brothers
and wives are sleeping
unlock the door
down the hall we go

The driver
has revved his engine
there's no face
in the window

I'd have thought
She would have waved
or given a smile
to bless this day

But there's no love
behind the curtains
as we escape
into the night
