In Chains

Angel of death and mercy

Come and 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 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

I'm gonna break these chains

Heaven help me now

Trade the shackles for a crown

And I'm on my way

Way down

Warm the ice that fills my veins

Pumping till 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 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

I'm gonna break these chains

Heaven help me now

Trade the shackles for a crown

And I'm on my way

Way down

Listen, bless my heart, and bless my soul

You could set my ass on fire

Mama, won't you call me a doctor

'Cause my temperature's 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

I'm gonna break these chains

Heaven help me now

Trade the shackles for a crown

And I'm on my way
