Judas Priest - (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.

  25. K.... ....

    It's just Heavy Metal, man. The best music of the universe!!

  26. j.... a....

    That chorus hook does have a certain 50's feel to it.

  27. T.... F....

    love the introl....it sounds so desolate. I listen to alot of trheir new album firepower and it sounds like a totally different type of band than did songs like this.

  28. g.... ....

    Classic

  29. L.... D....

    one of their best

  30. C.... '....

    Mehhhhhh Tulllllllllllll

  31. A.... W....

    the reverb on that intro is pure gold, one of the best song openers in classic metal.

  32. R.... E....

    The Best.

  33. B.... S....

    Classic

  34. D.... R....

    This song kicks my ass and I love it

    bob halligan's song !

  37. B.... B....

    A big mother fucking like from me yes! Takes me back to the days of partying everyday and puting this song on but doing my own impersonation of Axl Rose to the lyrics. Get pussy metal.

  38. R.... ....

    So underrated. I would say that's the best Judas Priest song , and you know the competition is hard...

  42. t.... s....

    Every song on this ALbum is a classic!

  43. E.... E....

  44. R.... L....

  47. K.... D....

    Unusual key to be played in standard tuning. Usually, metal bands tune down a half-step to play in this key.

    L.... M....

    +Lorenzo Dicembre Official what ?

    L.... M....

    It's a cover

    L.... M....

    @Lorenzo Dicembre Official this song is not from Judas Priest ?

    L.... M....

    La canzone è scritta da Bob Halligan jr per i Judas Priest che ne detengono i diritti, quindi è un pezzo dei Priest

    L.... M....

    This _is_ the original, since Halligan wrote this song only and Priest first recorded it.

  57. K.... J....

    Listening now.

  58. D.... C....

    Fucking Old Skool Bitches ! #1

  59. T.... C....

    This song gets a lot of meh from people but it's a humdinger.

    T.... C....

    Rico Pacheco true. honestly every priest song is an absolute masterpiece.

    T.... C....

    Who are these meh ppl so i can beat em up?

    T.... C....

    The word humdinger gets a lot of meh from people, but its a brilliant descriptor.

    T.... C....

    @Wes Bartlett Lol! Nice one.

    T.... C....

    @Dunc Emc2 Please do! Lol

  64. M.... ....

    most nostalgic song ever..

    M.... ....

    MrDR7no Especially the intro.

  65. J.... C....

    Just talked to my first girlfriend and she is marrying my for friend and they call me and ask me for me blessings.
    I haven't been with her in over 20 years but it just hurt so bad.
    The words are crazy in this song.

    This full album is pure gold. The sound of SFV is the epitome of true heavy metal. and no fillers!

    I.... Y....

    I'm Yours hate the drumsound and KISS kinda song
    Not so much metal imo

    I.... Y....

    I agree but i think Defenders and Painkiller are even better

    I.... Y....

    @Herman Helmich Screaming For Vengeance was produced to stay in American billboard, that's why it doesn't sound so much Euro metal but more American.

  70. T.... D....

    epic blues riff.  Chill out with a "soda"

  71. C.... ....

    Theme song of Ares in Smite...

    C.... ....

    @*****
    Gay?

  72. R.... ....

    Thumb down the video if you're elephant with cheese instead of head.

    R.... ....

    or if you're a derp pony

  73. C.... A....

    FIRST ROW!! NYC MSG Screaming for Vengeance,, 1984!!

    C.... A....
