These Chains
Along the lost horizon
There's a distant shot at freedom
Breaking down the borders
That keep my heart in line
Pushing on the mountains
Leaves swell until they're tangled
Busting through the boundaries
Implanted years ago
Chained and stuck in motion
Our intentions are revealed
I realize that hope
Won't keep my hands clean
These chains may be forgotten
But they cannot be forsaken
Until the day comes
When their rattle turns to dust
Now the dust turns to quicksand
And we cannot escape
Destined to return to
The desert of our defeat
Moments turn to minutes
And minutes turn to memories
Not a day goes by
That won't leave us behind
We have to make a decision
Do we stay or do we fight
Remain with the ordinary
Or try to leave it behind
Leave it behind
Leave it behind
There's a distant shot at freedom
Breaking down the borders
That keep my heart in line
Pushing on the mountains
Leaves swell until they're tangled
Busting through the boundaries
Implanted years ago
Chained and stuck in motion
Our intentions are revealed
I realize that hope
Won't keep my hands clean
These chains may be forgotten
But they cannot be forsaken
Until the day comes
When their rattle turns to dust
Now the dust turns to quicksand
And we cannot escape
Destined to return to
The desert of our defeat
Moments turn to minutes
And minutes turn to memories
Not a day goes by
That won't leave us behind
We have to make a decision
Do we stay or do we fight
Remain with the ordinary
Or try to leave it behind
Leave it behind
Leave it behind
