[ti: Born in Chains]
[length: 04:56]
[00:16.73]I was born in chains but I was taken out of Egypt
[00:22.80]I was bound to a burden, but the burden it was raised
[00:29.76]Lord, I can no longer keep this secret
[00:35.69]Blessed is the name, the name be praised
[00:42.45]
[00:44.97]I fled to the edge of the mighty sea of sorrow
[00:53.09]Pursued by the riders of a cruel and dark regime
[01:00.44]But the waters parted and my soul crossed over
[01:07.10]Out of Egypt, out of Pharaoh’s dream
[01:14.81]Word of words and the measure of all measures
[01:22.89]Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
[01:29.61]Written on my heart in burning letters
[01:37.42]That’s all I know, I cannot read the rest
[01:46.70]I was idled with my soul, when I heard you could use me
[01:54.53]I followed very closely, but my life remained the same
[02:01.75]But then you showed me where you had been wounded
[02:07.90]In every atom broken is the name
[02:16.02]I was alone on the road and your love was so confusing
[02:25.42]All my teachers told me, I had myself to blame
[02:32.35]But in the grip of sensual illusion
[02:38.82]The sweet unknowing unified the name
[02:46.86]Word of words, and the measure of all measures
[02:53.80]Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
[03:01.29]Written on my heart in burning letters
[03:08.75]That’s all I know, I cannot read the rest
[03:16.68]I’ve heard the soul unfolds in the chambers of this longing
[03:25.69]And the bitter liquor sweetens in the amber cup
[03:32.85]But all the ladders of the night have fallen
[03:39.04]Only darkness now, to lift the longing up
[03:47.04]Word of words and measure of all measures
[03:53.44]Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
[04:01.84]Written on my heart in burning letters
[04:09.68]That’s all I know, I cannot read the rest
