"Shackled (Fjättrad English Version)" lyrics

Imprisoned in flesh and blood
Tied to the sands of time
Tormented by the gift of life
I redeem you from its bond

I am your beginning, I am your end
I have always been and always will be
I give you peace, I give you eternal grief
I am the one who shackles you in life's misery

Born in screams and agony
In solitude, you shall perish
In anguish, you endlessly strive
In emptiness, you wither

When the sand has poured out
I will lead you home

Everything you were fades away into oblivion
An empty shell is all you've ever been
Life is but a bygone era
So let the sand run out

Shackled in the withering roots of life
I see you slowly breaking apart
Step by step, day by day you wither away
Let the sand of time rain like venom over you

Imprisoned in flesh and blood
Tied to the sands of time
Tormented by the gift of life
I redeem you from its bond

I am your beginning, I am your end
I have always been and always will be
I'm the gaze of the executor, I am angelic
I deprive you of your life

When the sand has poured out
I will lead you home

Everything you were fades away into oblivion
An empty shell is all you've ever been
Life is but a bygone era
So let the sand run out
So let the sand run out
Let the sand run out
