Jorn - Chains Around You lyrics

rate me

Once when your life was an open door

Someone poisoned you blind

Can you remember those days without war

Now you have left them behind

Did you become what you needed to be

Have you achieved what you wanted

There was a time when your heart spoke free

Before the demon was planted - yeah

How can you live

with these chains around you

Building your future on lies

Windows are open with a perfect view

You will see if you try

You can recover the heaven you knew

I saw you fall from the sky

Hiding your rainbow in the black and blue

Too late to regret when you die

Slowly you drown in your ocean of hell

No more ships passing by

Far in the distance the wind tries to tell

Of the ghost and the cry

There's no shame in the eyes of the fool

Only greed keeps you yearning

Life a fireball rolling in fuel

There's no end to the burning - no

How can you live

with these chains around you

Building your future on lies

Windows are open with a perfect view

You will see if you try

You can recover the heaven you knew

I saw you fall from the sky

Hiding your rainbow in the black and blue

Too late to regret when you die

Once I could read you like an open book

'Till you closed up inside

Do you remember the love that you took

Stole my heart with a lie

Why do we carry these chains full of rust

Why are they haunting our minds

So many memories of broken trust

There's no erase or rewind

We must believe and try over again

Brave we will turn in the spindrift of pain

Holding the flame 'till we die

Yeah - keeping the flame 'till we die
