Misery Chain
Chris Cornell
Letra

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
Its 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 or around
Anyway you feel
This misery chain
Should be found

And when we're gone
And it's all said and done
What will we leave?
The stories told
Will they speak of us well?
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 what I believe
Could exist
Down further still will be
The one who hides the key
And dares to try to put
These misery chains
On me

And when we're gone
And it's all said and done
What will we leave?
The 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
'Til it's understood
That every trace
Of this misery chain
Is gone for good
Till every trace
Of this misery chain
Is gone for good
