Iron Maiden Chains of Misery song lyrics

There's a madman in the corner of your eye

He likes to pry into your sunlight

He wants to burst into the street with you and I

A world of shadows and rain

He's seen what love is

He wants to pay you back with guilt

He lies to you he won't let you be

He's got your Chains of Misery

He won't be still till he's turned your key

He holds your Chains of Misery — Yeah!

He's got your Chains of Misery

There's a prophet in the gutter in the street

He says: "You're damned!"

And you believe him

He's got a vision but it shines out through your eyes

A world of hatred and fear

He smelt what love means

He wants to pay you back with pain

He lies to you he won't let you be

He's got your Chains of Misery

He won't be still till he's turned your key

He holds your Chains of Misery

He lies to you he won't let you be

He's got your Chains of Misery

He won't be still till he's turned your key

He holds your Chains of Misery

It's only love that holds the key to your heart

It's only love

He lies to you he won't let you be

He's got your Chains of Misery

He won't be still till he's turned your key

He holds your Chains of Misery

He lies to you he won't let you be

He's got your Chains of Misery

He won't be still till he's turned your key

He holds your Chains of Misery

He's got your Chains of Misery
