Angel of death and mercy
Come take me from this cage
Cuz these four walls and iron bars
have been witness to a rage
Of a thousand broken hearts in chains
Like a cripple without his cane
A kind without a crown
The passion that has once consumed
Has turned to ashes on the ground
All that I've been given I give it to you
I can't stand here watching you fail to tell the truth
Somebody break these chains
Wrapped around this heart
I don't want you leaving
I'm begging for mercy, oh to break these chains
Oh heaven help me now
Trade these shackles for a crown
And I'm on my way, way down
Warm the ice that fills my veins
Pumping till I'm numb
Lead me out of the darkness
where it is so hard to escape from
All that I've been given I give it to you
I can't stand here watching you fail to tell the truth
Somebody break these chains
Wrapped around this heart
I don't want you leaving
I'm begging for mercy, oh to break these chains
Oh heaven help me now
Trade these shackles for a crown
And I'm on my way, way down
Listen
Bless my heart and bless my soul
You can set my ass on fire
Momma won't you call me a doctor
cause my temperature is running higher and higher
Dip me in that cold muddy water
I think I need to be saved
All that I've been given I give it to you
I can't stand here watching you fail to tell the truth
Somebody break these chains
Wrapped around this heart
I don't want you leaving
I'm begging for mercy, oh to break these chains
Oh heaven help me now
Trade these shackles for a crown
And I'm on my way
