A literal ghost story, where chains represent guilt and captivity.
Here, the silver chains represent the specific "links" of past memories.
Every time the ghost moves, the speaker is violently reminded of what they lost.
Title.
Velumbound.
(A lone voice whispers)
In the low hours
I still feel you
Still feel that soft touch of glamour as your ghost appears
Like a lost Jacob Marley
Cursed to walk
The Midnight Road
For centuries
Haunting my every waking moment
Shaking your long silver chains which rattle my memories
