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
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 overround
Anyway you feel this misery
chain could be found
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 words will be
And if I should fall
from the top of the world
To the debts below
so far below
where our believe could exist
Down further still will be
the one who hides the key
And there's to try to put these
misery chains on me
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 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 recognize it
'till it's understood
That every trace of this
misery chain is gone for good
'Til every trace of this
misery chain is gone for good
