Born In Chains

[Verse] I was born in chains But I was taken out of egypt I was bound to a burden But the burden it was razed Lord, I can no longer Keep this secret Blessed is the name The name be praised I fled to the edge Of the majesty of sorrow Her suit by the riders Oh, the cruel and dark regime But the waters parted And my soul crossed over Out of Egypt Out of Pharaoh's dream [Chorus] Word of words Immeasurable measure Blessed is the name The name be blessed Written on my heart In burning letters That's all I know I cannot read the rest [Verse] I was idle against my soul When I heard you could use me I followed very closely But my life remained the same But then you showed me What you had been moved In every atom Broken his name I was alone on the road And your love was so confusing All my teachers told me I had myself to blame But in the grip of Sensual illusion A sweet unknowing Unified the name [Chorus] [Verse] I've heard the soul unfolds In the chambers of its longing And the bitter liquor sweetens In the hammer cup And all the ladders of Of the night of honor Only darkness now To lift the longing up [Chorus]
