lyrics

Take this ball and chain away from me,
Lord knows I can't take the weight no more.
Break these shackles round my feet,
I don't find this amusing anymore.

Give me freedom, or give me death.
I'm dying under you with each breath.
I'm losing my sight, I'm losing my health.
Inside of me inside of you this is hell.

No god to give me strength nothing to hold.
I'm sinking, I'm drowning, somebody save these bones.
There's too much strength in the Devil's undertow.
Let the Styx take my body
But please, don't let it take my soul, my soul, my soul

Fallin from the tallest peak,
Into the water, dark, murky, meek.
When push came to shove there was a rock and a very hard place.
I decided the plunge may save a little face, to my disgrace a little face, to shame my name a little face.
Oh, oh, oh oh oh

No god to give me strength that I can hold.
No holy spirits comin in groups of three or more.
The styx is a river mighty, and its cold.
and it may take my body but oh,
It'll never take my soul , my soul , my soul

No god to give me strength nothing to hold.
I'm sinking, I'm drowning, somebody save these bones.
There's too much strength in the Devil's undertow.
Let the Styx take my body
But please, don't let it take my soul

And I pretend, and I pretend, and I pretend that this is not the end
And I pretend, and I pretend, and I pretend, and I pretend that this is not the end
And I pretend, I pretend, and I pretend, and I pretend that this is not the end

This is the end.
