These Chains — текст песни (marillion)

Everything crashed

His wife left him

He lost all of his money

And most of his friends

He lay awake all night

Lonely and desperate

Contemplating

Starting again



(these chains are all your own

These chains are comfortable)



4.00 in the morning

Sat in the kitchen

Keys on the table

Went out for a drive

He didnt know

Where he was going

Didnt know

If he was alive



The dawn was breakin

A new day was rising

Shadows creepin over the fields

Over the fields

He watched the pink light

Steal across the horizon

He realised

He saw with new eyes



These chains are all your own

These chains are comfortable

This cage was never locked

Born free but scared to be



These chains are all your own

These chains are comfortable

These chains were never locked

Born free but scared to be



This cage was made for you

With care and constant attention

This cage is safe and warm

Will you die and never know what its like to be/live

Outside.
