In Chains

Angel of death and mercy
Come take me from this cage
'Cause these four walls and iron bars have been witness to the rage
Of a thousand broken hearts in chains
Like a cripple without his cane
A king without a crown
The passion that once consumed me has turned to ashes on the ground

All that I've been given, I give it to you (I give it to you)
I can't stand here watching you fail to tell the truth (to tell the truth)

Somebody break these chains
Wrapped around this heart
I don't want you leaving
I'm begging for mercy
Honey, break these chains
Oh, Heaven help me now
Trade the shackle for a crown
And I'm on my way, way down

Warm the ice that fills my veins, pumping 'til I'm numb
Lead me out of the darkness where it's so hard to escape from

All that I've been given, I give it to you (I give it to you)
I can't stand here watching you fail to tell the truth (to tell the truth)

Somebody break these chains
Wrapped around this heart
I don't want you leaving
I'm begging for mercy
Honey, break these chains
Oh, Heaven help me now
Trade the shackle for a crown
And I'm on my way, way down

Listen
Bless my heart and bless my soul, you can set my ass on fire
Momma, won't you call me a doctor
'Cause my temperature is rising higher and higher
Dip me in that cold muddy water, I think I need to be saved
Unless someone breaks these chains

All that I've been given, I give it to you
I can't stand here watching you fail to tell the truth

Somebody break these chains
Wrapped around this heart
I don't want you leaving
I'm begging for mercy
Honey, break these chains
Oh, Heaven help me now
Trade the shackle for a crown
And I'm on my way
