Chains quiver under the tongue of flames then lie dead to you So how can they still sing to me until I cannot forget? That the grip of time will never end And even if I go away my lips will smile With blinded eyes
A shell of seclusion asks at last if I miss those possibilities Of your constant sifting through my soul and mind Until hope is no longer a dream And your flames breathe upon the petals Chained in ecstasy
The gifts I wish away are still mine to have and know Held by a single hand with no magical wand Yet I seem to view the dawn As a strange rain that brings me gloom Chained to here and gone
If chains quiver under the tongue of flames then lie dead to you What is this voice I carry inside my heart to remain? When all it seems merely waits for me To release my tears and sweetly smile again Blinded to the chains
