lyrics

The Guards won't strip away - the chains that held my feet and hands
Though my flesh is bound by another man
My soul is free to roam - up and down these wayward halls
oh the sound it makes when the mighty fall

The night is long and dark - the moon it's held by these iron bars
oh she lingers as when a lover parts
And I can feel her pain - i've lived her loss every single day
every second now strips my life away

Chorus -
I felt that weight - that you have placed
on a foolish life
we are but men - tattered and frayed
was your grace a waste

verse 2:
The sun won't say goodbye - the clouds will mock my cistern eyes
another man falls to foolish pride
and all I could have done - love a wife and raise a son
see all I wanted now as a petty sum
my legs to scared to walk - my mind it races my heart it stops
arm under arm they drag me off
the rain it rakes my skin - i'm so close now i can see my end
pray more grace from god than these holy men

Chorus

Drag me off alone - off to stretch my neck and bones
Tell my father that i'm coming home
and I know what they mean - when they say that they'll punish me
but to take my life is to set me free

Chorus 2 :
Lost and dismayed - i'm screaming faith - is all that's keeping me
here at the end - i'm born again - i'll be unmade and finally saved
