In Chains

Angel of death and mercy Come take me from this cage 'Cause these four walls and iron bars have been witness to the rage Of a thousand broken hearts in chains Like a cripple without his cane A king without a crown The passion that once consumed me has turned to ashes on the ground All that I've been given, I give it to you (I give it to you) I can't stand here watching you fail to tell the truth (to tell the truth) Somebody break these chains Wrapped around this heart I don't want you leaving I'm begging for mercy Honey, break these chains Oh, Heaven help me now Trade the shackle for a crown And I'm on my way, way down Warm the ice that fills my veins, pumping 'til I'm numb Lead me out of the darkness where it's so hard to escape from All that I've been given, I give it to you (I give it to you) I can't stand here watching you fail to tell the truth (to tell the truth) Somebody break these chains Wrapped around this heart I don't want you leaving I'm begging for mercy Honey, break these chains Oh, Heaven help me now Trade the shackle for a crown And I'm on my way, way down Listen Bless my heart and bless my soul, you can set my ass on fire Momma, won't you call me a doctor 'Cause my temperature is rising higher and higher Dip me in that cold muddy water, I think I need to be saved Unless someone breaks these chains All that I've been given, I give it to you I can't stand here watching you fail to tell the truth Somebody break these chains Wrapped around this heart I don't want you leaving I'm begging for mercy Honey, break these chains Oh, Heaven help me now Trade the shackle for a crown And I'm on my way
