[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
