The Walk in Chains

Nick Phelps

Slave to an unknown master that would be obvious to guess

They walk and walk, They Walk in Chains

To someone other than themselves they wish to confess

Everything to warrant such great Pains

 

Somewhere within them there is a desire, a hope

But to them hope is a stain upon their clothes

That should be scrubbed clean

 

Eyes to the clouds, they desperately try to catch an impossible fish

They walk and walk, They Walk in Chains

An illusion of someone who can grant their desired wish

Created out of the sky salvation is what the fish feigns

 

Resolute in the falseness of their newfound forgiveness

They greet the afterlife with open arms and smiles

But in this place the fact still holds true

 

They walk and walk, They Walk in Chains
