Souls in Chains Songtext
von Spell

They lay enshrined in their velvet halls
Pulling cord beneath us all
They′re lying in their lavish graves
As they play chess to decide our fates

Cenotaphs that men had hate
Cast mocking shadows upon our face
As evil tongues a snare will set
Their greatest curses aren't folded yet


Caught in a web as helpless prey
Lost on a path that leads astray
Doomed to repeat our wretched ways
We′re just souls in chains

Forlorn beyond their earthly time
Their hatred and their greed unwinds
They laugh beneath their scornful ways
As we all watch the Earth decay

Someday at last the time will come
Even the greatest force will be undone
And if you hold the scepter now
Silence will claim your resting ground


Caught in a web as helpless prey
Lost on a path that leads astray
Doomed to repeat our wretched ways
We're just souls in chains
