The Rake has captured Margaret in his fortress beyond the Annan Water. He taunts her, depriving her of hope that her lover could ever save her. With little hope left, Margaret still calls for William to save her. The ghosts from the Rakes past come back for revenge.

Margaret in Captivity Lyrics

[Verse 1: Colin Meloy]
I have snipped your wingspan, my precious captive swan
Here all clipped of kickstand, your spirit won't last long
Don't you lift a finger, don't you snap and jaw
Limber limbs akimbo rest 'til rubbing raw

[Chorus: Becky Stark]
O my own true love
O my own true love
Can you hear me, love?
Can you hear me, love?

[Verse 2: Collin Meloy]
Don't hold out for rescue
None can hear your call
'Til I have wrest and wrecked you
Behind these fortress walls

[Chorus: Becky Stark]
O my own true love
O my own true love
Can you hear me, love?
Can you hear me, love?
