Bellows of pain 
And scraping of chains 
The echoes they taunt and deceive me 
Oceans of blame 
And rivers of shame 
The fury it never leaves me 

Grief in the snow 
The winter of woe 
Has come here to judge and bereave me 
Lock up the rage 
It rattles the cage 
The fury it never leaves me 

Always within 
To lurk in the skin 
The wounds ever aching so deeply 
Try as I may 
To hide it away 
The fury it never leaves me 

Long I’ve suffered the hunger 
Long I’ve silenced the cry 
Long I’ve fled from the thunder 
To ascend 
Still I try 
To carry the pain 
To keep it contained 'til the end 
To carry the pain 
To keep it contained 'til the end 

Pour out the anger and hide it away 
Lest it spill to the blameless and lead them to pain 
In the steel and the rags I will cover the shame 
So the innocent need not be judged in my name 

Pour out the anger and hide it away 
Lest it spill to the blameless and lead them to pain 
In the steel and the rags I will cover the shame 
So the innocent need not be judged in my name 

Long I’ve suffered the hunger 
Long I’ve silenced the cry 
Long I’ve fled from the thunder 
To ascend 
Still I try 
To carry the pain 
To keep it contained 'til the end 
To carry the pain 
To keep it contained 'til the end 

Bellows of pain 
And scraping of chains 
The echoes they taunt and deceive me 
Oceans of blame 
And rivers of shame 
The fury it never leaves me
