Lyrics[]
An hour since the sundown The ghosts are creepin in Are gathering around me Like starlings in the wind Dark shapes gather round Voices like my brother's Are whispering to me But I don't know these others Who want to set me free Come home you're out of time But the life cannot let go It's a chain cuts across my soul Anchoring in this world I put my hand into the flame Burning but I feel no pain Don't speak, don't speak my name Hold on to this life of chains The door is standing open But I'm too tired to be afraid My whole life's in this moment I've been fighting all the way Just need a little more time Cuz the life just can't let go It's a chain cuts across my soul Anchoring in this world I put my hand into the flame Burning but I feel no pain Don't speak, don't speak my name Hold on to this life of chains Nah nah nah nah nah I put my hand into the flame Burning but I feel no pain Don't speak, don't speak my name Hold on to this life of chains Chains... chains... chains...
