Lower me down into the ground
With 16 miles of chain
To find a heart for the man I love
The one that wouldn't stray
Through the door to the Devil's store
From the ashes, dark and stained
He pulled out a new black heart
With 16 miles of chain
16 miles of chain
"Been waitin' for you a long time, girl"
The heart began to say
"A body freed is all I need
And I will never stray
Through wind and trees," It sang to me
"In love we will remain"
And I fell in love with that new black heart
And 16 miles of chain
16 miles of chain
16 miles of chain
16 miles of chain
I fell in love with that new black heart
And 16 miles of chain
"Come on down from the roof, my dear
See what I have found"
Into that chest that I loved best
I pushed that black heart down
In my lover's face I saw
Betrayal and the pain
And now I'm tied to that cold, black heart
With 16 miles of chain
16 miles of chain
16 miles of chain
16 miles of chain
I paid in blood for that cold, black heart
And 16 miles of chain
16 miles of chain
16 miles of chain
I paid in full for that new black heart
With 16 miles of chain
16 miles of chain
16 miles of chain
16 miles of chain
