"Chains Of Misery" as written by Bruce Dickinson and David Michael Murray....
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 of 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
There's a prophet in the gutter
In the street
He say "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's felt 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 the key
He holds your chains of misery
It's only love that holds the key to
Our hearts
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 the 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 the key
He holds your chains of misery
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 of 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
There's a prophet in the gutter
In the street
He say "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's felt 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 the key
He holds your chains of misery
It's only love that holds the key to
Our hearts
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 the 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 the key
He holds your chains of misery

There's a madman in the corner of
your eye
He likes to pry - into your sunlight
im not sure. but it seems like something is causing this person great mental distress
Somehow I think this song refers to the novel "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", or just about someone who's shizophrenic. He's fighting with himself, with his evil side, tries to stop himself from doing something bad, but it seems like his Evil Side - Mr. Hyde, maybe - is going to win, because he has something to blackmail the good side with - he holds his chains of misery.
But I may be wrong, just my own interpretation of a great song.
