Black is the devil dark is the night
Stealing every shine of light
Holding hostage the fires bright
Black is the devil dark is the night

You have told me it's no use
You have told me I'm a fool
I keep dragging these chains you made

Chains
Chains
Chains

Drag my legs through the dirt and mire
Two heavy pegs on a tied rope wire
My guts are all with the lines of a liar
I drag my legs through the dirt and mire

You have told me it's no use
You have told me I'm a fool
I keep dragging these chains you made

Chains
