Chains she wears like a crown

For to slavery bound

From the day they have met

Chains that she's dragging around

Never making a sound

From the day she said 'yes'

Chains, to keep her tied to the ground

While he is slipping away

Queen in a glorified cage

With only silence to page

The lonely night long

Wait for the footsteps to fall

For his voice in the hall

Calling her name again

Pray for all the sweetness long gone

When all that's left is the pain

Shame that she's keeping inside

Hiding misery behind

Fancy curtains of lace

Vain, she's hoping in vain

He would kindle the flame

That once burned in his eyes

Rain that beats like time on the pane

When every second's the same

Rain that beats like time on the pane

When every secon's the same

Woman, don't bury that heart of gold

Behind a cold face of stone
