Misery Chain
Won't you take one link
From this misery chain
Keep it to remind you
Of a long forgotten time or a place
So that you'll recognize
Its shape when it's near
Any time or place this misery chain
Should appear
Take the locks and shackles
And melt all of it down
Shine a light upon
Every shadow
Every acre of ground
The hidden corners
On, in or around
Anywhere you fear this
Misery chain should be found
And when we're gone
And it's all said and done
What will we leave
The stories told
Will they speak of us well
God only knows
What those words will be
And if I should fall
From the top of the world
To the depths below
So far below what I believed
Could exist
Down further still will be
The one who hides the key
And dares to try to put these misery chains on me
And when we're gone
And it's all said and done
What will we leave
The stories told
Will they speak of us well
God only knows
What those words will be
Won't you take one link
From this misery chain
Keep it to remind you
Of a long forgotten time or a place
So that you'll recognize it
'til it's understood
That every trace
Of this misery chain
Is gone for good
'til every trace
Of this misery chain
Is gone
From this misery chain
Keep it to remind you
Of a long forgotten time or a place
So that you'll recognize
Its shape when it's near
Any time or place this misery chain
Should appear
Take the locks and shackles
And melt all of it down
Shine a light upon
Every shadow
Every acre of ground
The hidden corners
On, in or around
Anywhere you fear this
Misery chain should be found
And when we're gone
And it's all said and done
What will we leave
The stories told
Will they speak of us well
God only knows
What those words will be
And if I should fall
From the top of the world
To the depths below
So far below what I believed
Could exist
Down further still will be
The one who hides the key
And dares to try to put these misery chains on me
And when we're gone
And it's all said and done
What will we leave
The stories told
Will they speak of us well
God only knows
What those words will be
Won't you take one link
From this misery chain
Keep it to remind you
Of a long forgotten time or a place
So that you'll recognize it
'til it's understood
That every trace
Of this misery chain
Is gone for good
'til every trace
Of this misery chain
Is gone
