Shackles and Bones

Clinking
Clanging
Rusty chains
Bones just a'bangin

Skinny metatarsal scratching
Sandstone prison catching
Numbered days of a
loveless love

Shotgun wedding
and this cold prison
has no proper bedding

Shackles and bones
Fallen crowns
Empty thrones

Souls filling space
but there is no grace
Filing the papers to say
we're not alone
but this prison
is far from the ideal home

Shackles and bones
Shackles and bones

Tarnished ring
falling with a clanging echo
in endless tones
