Slipping your chains
dodging the demons and twits
chasing the river running the lane
losing your mind bit by bit
Glance over shoulder
checking the corner and street
fear in the eye dread turning colder
exhaling ragged in fits
Draw a deep breath
hold close your nerve and your wit
always to try and never say die
never give in or submit
Hell can't hold sway
if you won't dance and play
sidestepping the devil's own spawn
Clutching your will
your iron and your steel
and always too
carry on

Slipping your chains
dodging the demons and twits
chasing the river running the lane
losing your mind bit by bit
Glance over shoulder
checking the corner and street
fear in the eye dread turning colder
exhaling ragged in fits
Draw a deep breath
hold close your nerve and your wit
always to try and never say die
never give in or submit
Hell can't hold sway
if you won't dance and play
sidestepping the devil's own spawn
Clutching your will
your iron and your steel
and always too
carry on
