Chains

CHAINS

Rider tied to the stone of night

With a wolf skin coat and a Bowie knife

I been left for dead now I’m running blind

On an odyssey into the night

Gotta run, run, run and run some more

Shackled on the killing floor

Captive bound to iron chain

With these beads of blood and the mark of Cain

I wanna slip this seal and loosen these chains

Till nothing but this ghost remains

Till risen from this blackest black

These wild dogs ripping at my back

And I hear you when your on your own love

And I hear you when your not alone...

Leather straps rap across my chest

Where they pierce their nails through my rebel’s breast

Spike my bones to them rocks below

Oh when I pay the debt I owe

Prometheus you know my shame

This fire from your holy flame

And I hear you when your on your own love

And I hear you when your not alone...

And I’m running with these chains

And they bind me to the night

Where the lessons of our blood

Keep whispering in my veins

Where ashes turn to dust

Where fire never ends

Darling I hear you...

Glorious dawn where the eagle rides

Where he picks my liver at the morning rise

Oh hope must you prolong our cry

Oh sister from a starless sky

Pandora with your evil jar

Heal my heart and bind these scars

And I hear you when your on your own love

And I hear you when your not alone...

And I’m running with these chains

And they link me to your light

Where what’s written in our blood

Keeps riding at our sides

Where our ashes to to gold

Where our fire never ends

Darling I hear you...

And I hear you when your on your own love

And I hear you when your not alone
