Links of Despair

Verse 1

Iron

Cold and grey

Heavy links dragging through the red clay

My knuckles bleed

I crawl

I pray

Six feet of rusted metal in my way

Chorus

These chains won't break

These chains won't break

Lord

These chains won't break

I am sinking down

I am sinking down

Verse 2

Black pits

Smoke fills my hollow chest

Screaming for a moment of some rest

No sun

No sky

Just the weight of a thousand years

The hammer falls

The master hears

Cold sweat

Sharp fear

Dying alone while the end is near

Chorus

These chains won't break

These chains won't break

Lord

These chains won't break

I am sinking down

I am sinking down

Bridge

Locked in

Tied down

Cast out

The copper turns to green

The worst I have ever seen

Pulling me under the floor

I can't take it no more

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Empty

Ghost in a cage

Turning the final blackened page

Ice

Buried deep

Locked away while the demons sleep

Chorus

These chains won't break

These chains won't break

Lord

These chains won't break

I am sinking down

I am sinking down

Outro

Dragging on

Dragging on

Dragging on

The weight of the world

Sinking down

Down

Down
