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's shape when it's near

Any time or place this misery chain should appear

Take the locks and shackles

And they'll call off it down

Shine a light upon

Every shadow every acre of ground

The hidden corner on

In whole around

Any way you feel this misery chain

Could be found

And when we're gone

And it's all said and done what we believe

The story's fold

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 believe could exist

Down further still will be

The one who hides the key

And dares to try to put this misery chain on me

And now we're gone

And it's all said and done what we believe

The story's fold

Will they speak of us

Well God only knows

Where those worlds 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 to let understood

That every trace of this misery chain is gone for good

Till' every trace of this misery chain is gone for good
