Misery Chain Songtext / Lyric

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.
