Slaved by AshesofEden - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro] (Heavy distorted riff, slow build, muted chugs)

Chains in my head, static in my spine

Feed me the lies, call it “just fine”

Knuckles split, teeth clenched tight

Born into pressure, baptized by fight

[Verse 1] (Driving groove, tight rhythm)

Clock keeps ticking like a loaded gun

Another day wasted, nowhere to run

They sell me dreams wrapped in rust

“Trust the system” — yeah, fuck that trust

Back bent low but my eyes stay up

I’ve tasted blood from this poisoned cup

They want obedience, silent and tame

Stamp a number where there was a name

[Pre-Chorus] (Building tension, rising vocals)

Hands on my throat, boots on my back

Every promise they made is a fucking attack

I’m done biting my tongue till it bleeds

I won’t beg, I won’t crawl, I won’t plead

[Chorus] (Big hook, full band)

I WON’T BE SLAVED

I won’t rot in the cage they made

Fuck your rules, fuck your throne

I’ll burn it down stone by stone

I WON’T BE SLAVED

I won’t die just to behave

Cut the leash, break the chain

I’d rather scream than live in pain

[Verse 2] (Groove returns, darker tone)

They keep me numb with a screen and a lie

Say “stay in line or you’ll fall behind”

I see wolves dressed up as saints

Smile full of teeth, hands full of restraints

Every step forward, they pull me back

Gaslight truth till it cracks

I’ve had enough of their hollow control

Trying to carve out pieces of my soul

[Pre-Chorus] (Build up again)

Every “yes sir” carved in my skin

Every “good boy” just another sin

You can shove your order down my throat

I’m done being your fucking remote

[Chorus] (Big, aggressive repeat)

I WON’T BE SLAVED

I won’t rot in the cage they made

Fuck your rules, fuck your throne

I’ll burn it down stone by stone

I WON’T BE SLAVED

I won’t die just to behave

Cut the leash, break the chain

I’d rather scream than live in pain

[Breakdown] (Half-time, crushing, shouted vocals)

Push me down

Hold me under

Tell me I’m nothing

I’ll tear you asunder

You built this hell

Brick by brick

Now watch me snap

You sick fucks — watch me snap

[Bridge] (Darker atmosphere, tension build)

I was born in the fire

Raised by the scars

I don’t need your permission

I know who we are

You tried to own me

Tried to brand my name

The louder you scream

The more I fucking change

[Guitar Solo] (fast shred, bends, pinch harmonics, dive bombs, wah, chaotic but controlled)

[Final Chorus] (Highest energy, layered vocals)

I WON’T BE SLAVED

I won’t kneel at the grave you made

Fuck your crown, fuck your lies

I see through your disguise

I WON’T BE SLAVED

I won’t fade, I won’t cave

Break the lock, feel the rage

I WAS NEVER YOUR FUCKING SLAVE

[Outro] (Slow crush, final hits)

Chains hit the floor, hear the sound

That’s freedom screaming now

You lost control, I’m unchained

I WON’T BE FUCKING SLAVED
