Savor the blood as it spills from my mouth No pity for me 'Cause I did this myself Torch the funeral pyre Where I already lie Make sure to tell the priest I didn't want a goodbye Swinging the chain Pull the chord, let the blade fall No time for regret I'm through with it all Hammer in my nails and send me out to sea Let the ones down below Have what's left of me Swinging the chain ♪ Burn in my throat Won't ever subside Feel the pain Swing the chain ♪ Swinging the chain That's wrapped round my neck Time stands still When you're choking to death Life brings pain Only so much each day Accelerate your demise Swinging the chain
