Every Link Lyrics

This heart don't beat for what people here adore

These eyes don't care for what they flock to see

So I'm going on the mountain, gonna' lay awake until

I'll be lifted up into the sun

Where death forgets my name

'Cause I've tasted bitter sorrow and the sweetness of joy

Enough times to know both only come to leave

So I'm building my home on the rock of ages

Where the wind and rain won't blow and pour

To rob my soul of peace

Can't you hear 'em now

They're knockin' at your door

Free yourself of every link of chain you've made

And lay your burdens down in the grave

Brother, won't you walk in light with me

These strings don't ring for what people here adore

And it's either them or me who's gone insane

But I refuse to follow the blind and unsmiling

Into a life of pain, no matter how much fame or money might be made

It's a high and lonesome road to the end of misery

But I know my Lord will be waiting there for me

So I'll endure until the very last day

When I'll be lifted up into the sun

Where death forgets my name

Can't you hear him now

He's knockin' at your door

Free yourself of every link of chain you've made

And lay your burdens down in the grave

Sister, won't you walk in light with me

Free yourself of every link of chain you've made

And lay your burdens down in the grave

Oh won't you walk in light with me
