Ball & Chain

You live in this cold dungeon I’ve created from the depths of my pain.
You suffer all the things I hated.
I am your ball and chain.
Isn't it lonely inside these walls?
You'll crumble away from the light. 
Surrounded by stone, you're all alone.
You live in my shadow of fright.

You could escape these clanking chains Created to keep you from going away.
And step out of these clothes
ragged and stained
Into a new brighter day.
Leave me behind to return to the stone
To be washed away by the rain... 
But I'll come back to rebuild, 
To dust off my throne, 
I am your ball and chain.
