Tracing the lines of face after face

Looking down at their naked feet
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Bound in chains bound in chains
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Chains of leather chains of gold

![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Husbands stood on the auction block
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Bound in chains bound in chains
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Chains of leather chains of gold
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Men knew it was wrong but they looked
