Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 all around Anywhere you feel this misery chain should be found [Chorus] When we're gone, and it's all said and done What will we leave? Stories told, will they speak of us well? God only knows what those words will be [Verse 3] And if I should fall from the top of the world To the depths below, so far below where our belief could exist Down further still will be the one who hides the key There to try to put these misery chains on me [Chorus] When we're gone, and it's all said and done What will we leave? Stories told, will they speak of us well? God only knows what those words will be [Outro] 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 And that every trace of this misery chain is gone for good Till every trace of this misery chain is gone for good
