C G Am G C
I was born in chains but I was taken out of Egypt
Em Am G
I was bound to a burden, but the burden it was raised
F A7 Dm A#
Lord I can no longer keep this secret
F F#m Gsus4 G
Blessed is the name, the name be praised.
C Em Am G C
I fled to the edge of the mighty sea of sorrow
Em Am G
Pursued by the riders of a cruel and dark regime
F A Dm A#
But the Versed and my soul crossed over
F F#m Gsus4 G
Out of Egypt, out of Pharaoh's dream.

But then you showed me where you had been wounded

In every atom broken is the name

I was lost on the road, your love was so confusing

And all the teachers told me that I had myself to blame

As the bitter liquor sweetens in the amber cup

Ah but all the ladders of the night have fallen
F F#m Gsus4 G
Only darkness now, to lift the longing up.

Blessed is the name, the name be blessed

Written on my heart in burning letters
