My heart's ablaze
I'm an empty page
You've been sanctified
But will you stay the night?
And through a prisoner's bars
I'm reaching out too far
And in the shifting dust
I see I'm out of luck
And on the funeral pyre
No, I will not catch fire
And though my insides burn
No, I will never learn
And like a common thief
Down at the jury's feet
Yea, when my name gets called
I guess I'll walk along
(x2)
Some day,
I'll be free of these chains
That are holding me
I'm an empty page
You've been sanctified
But will you stay the night?
And through a prisoner's bars
I'm reaching out too far
And in the shifting dust
I see I'm out of luck
And on the funeral pyre
No, I will not catch fire
And though my insides burn
No, I will never learn
And like a common thief
Down at the jury's feet
Yea, when my name gets called
I guess I'll walk along
(x2)
Some day,
I'll be free of these chains
That are holding me
