[Chorus 1]
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 recognize its shape, when it's near
Any time or place this misery chain should appear
[Verse 1]
Take the locks and shackles, and melt all of it down
Shine a light upon, every shadow, every acre of ground
The hidden corners in or around [?]
Any way you feel this misery chain could be found
[Chorus 2]
When we're gone, and it's all said and done
What will we leave?
Stories told, will they speak of us when
God only knows what those word will be
[Verse 2]
And if I should fall
From the top of the world
To the depths below
So far below what I believe could exist
Down farther still will be
The one who hides the key
There she'll try to put these misery chains on me
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 1]
