(Take These) Chains Lyrics
I move away it don't do me no good
Three thousand miles don't help like I thought it would.
Help me, I'm beggin' you please.
You've got the power down on my knees
Give me some kind of life.
Leave me be.
Take these chains off
Take 'em off of my heart
Reach out to me, as if from the grave
I tried to run but I'm tied to you like a slave.
It's my fault for loving you so
You were so precious, how could I know.
You turned mean overnight
Poor poor me.
I don't owe you anything
Why don't you get out of my life.
Through it all the memories cling
And I can't sleep at night.
Three thousand miles don't help like I thought it would.
Help me, I'm beggin' you please.
You've got the power down on my knees
Give me some kind of life.
Leave me be.
Take these chains off
Take 'em off of my heart
I tried to run but I'm tied to you like a slave.
It's my fault for loving you so
You were so precious, how could I know.
You turned mean overnight
Poor poor me.
Why don't you get out of my life.
Through it all the memories cling
And I can't sleep at night.

The lyrics above are not for this song by Judas Priest
Here are the Lyrics :
I move away it don't do me no good Three thousand miles don't help like I thought it would. Help me, I'm beggin' you please. You've got the power down on my knees Give me some kind of life. Leave me be. Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart

I don't owe you anything Why don't you get out of my life. Through it all the memories cling And I can't sleep at night.
The lyrics also could be about an addictive substance. Listen carefully.
I agree this could be about a drug (or any) addiction, or any relationship that is bad for you, that you just can't break away from.
haha I always think the same thing whenever I hear a lovey dovey Priest song...that it's about a guy
Lmfao hahahhaha. Yeah, Halford's sexuality is the brunt of many jokes regarding JP's songs.
Lmfao. Nice one, Balljack70.
Good metal cheese. Song about how hard relationships can be..only problem is I'm sure Mr. Halford is squealing over the vision of a jacked Mediterranean pool boy.
