I've been in town, been in Newgate,
been in fleet, been in exile
I've been in love with you daily,
been impatient for change
I've been the one to do the leaving
But now I'm asking of you, Lizzie,
don't be leaving me tonight
Oh, where freedoms fly set high above,
now crushed be neath the iron glove
Where fire reigns within me
since the dying of the light
And as time and success have changed
the hon est shape of many men
My time has come for liberty
From the lies to my chains
Oh, is it the rattle of chains
I hear on the old death rattle?
Will we fall away together
Oh, is it the rattle of chains
I hear on the old death rattle?
Will we fall away together
Oh, when we all are gone,
The Father now be with us.
The Son, and Him who reigns
with every highest heaven.
who world and heaven adore,
For thus it was, is, now,
What is the random sheet?
What is the random sheet?
I hear the old death rattle
Will we fall away together
Oh, it's the rattle of chains
I hear of the old death rattle
Will we fall away together
