Chris Cornell - Misery Chain lyrics
[Chris Cornell - Misery Chain lyrics]
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 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
When we're gone, and it's all said and done
What will we leave? Stories told
Will they speak of us when 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 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
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
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
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 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
When we're gone, and it's all said and done
What will we leave? Stories told
Will they speak of us when 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 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
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
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
