Break These Chains

In the shadows of my cell, where the cold winds always moan
A whisper of the gallows, where the lost seeds are now sown
Ink bleeds now on the parchment, like blood on the floor
A silent requiem, behind the iron door

The ticking of the clock is a vulture’s cruel call
I dance with my demons, inside the prison walls
In the night of complete silence, remember what I’ve said
The hanged man’s whisper will never be dead

The gallows stand there waiting, at the tree of the damned
Where hope is just lie, crushed with a strong hand
This letter my legacy, my final descent
In the noose of regret, is my spirit spent?

I pen my last confession, my heart´s now wrapped in chains
The echoes of my despair are still my only friends
I yearn for the final embrace, the noose around my neck
And then I’ll find my freedom when I fall below the deck

I write of broken promises
Like broken glass upon the floor
Reflection of the life I once bore

Words of the hanged man, written in blood
A story of despair, sinking into the mud
With every twisted letter, a testament of pain
In the embrace of darkness, I´ll break these chains

SOLO: Suomela & Nieminen

One last look at the words on the page
The ink smeared by my fallen tears
I hear the steps on the stairs
The time has come

SOLO: Saastamoinen
SOLO: Nieminen
SOLO: Suomela

And I´ll find my freedom, when the final breath escapes
One story ends, another begins
With every twisted letter, a testament of pain,
In the embrace of darkness, I break these chains
