Listen to the wind blow
Watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies
And if
You don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain.
List to the wind blow
Down comes the night
Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies
Break the silence
Damn the dark
Damn the light
And if
You don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain.

Some of the lyrics to The Chain have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Fleetwood Mac and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to The Chain if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to The Chain" means the words set to the music of The Chain, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Fleetwood Mac. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to The Chain and the lyrics to The Chain are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Fleetwood Mac who came here looking just for the lyrics to The Chain, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
