Every day she fears her life will end
+
Every time the call rings they are late
+
They never come quite in time to see his fist
+
Leave its mark on the side of her disgrace
+
They'll never charge him anyway and you know it
+
Say we can't get involved today
+
So where's the choice and who protects her now
+
Bruised and battered the blood has stained her gown
+
Useless screams for help can't save her now
+
Choices rendered the house is burning down
+
No one will ever understand cause they don't have to feel his crushing hands
+
And the ears that ignored her screams before are now wondering what she did it for
+
But with a bottle of kerosene she found her freedom
+
And then burned the bastard to the ground and ran
+
The fire will now wash away the blood on her white wedding dress
+
