Cut The Chain

(Heavy, distorted guitar riff intro - a mix of despair and resolve)

Verse 1

(Whispered, building intensity)

I see you fall, I know you trespass

But I'm still here, I'm never gone, my son

What kind of father would abandon you like that?

I will see you through to the other side, to the end

Chorus

(Full band, driving beat, slightly anthemic)

You're not lost to the outer dark

You're safe, you are my blood

Yeah, you are my son

Cut the chain, don't trip and fall

This fallen world won't steal your light

You are better than that

Verse 2

(More rhythmic, slightly darker tone)

When you walk in the dark places, your light begins to fade

You're not there to save, you're there to breathe the shade

The only way to play those dark deeds

Is to turn your own light down low

How can you taste the dark when your soul shines bright?

So stop turning down your light

Chorus

(Full band, raw energy)

You're not lost to the outer dark

You're safe, you are my blood

Yeah, you are my son

Cut the chain, don't trip and fall

This fallen world won't steal your light

You are better than that

Bridge

(Tempo slows, bass line prominent, emotionally charged)

The enemy, he wants you down and cold

But he knows you always bounce back, back to the flame

He might hold you for a moment, a temporary stop

Don't give him the satisfaction, not even for a second

Guitar Solo

(Intense, melodic, full of tension and release)

Pre-Chorus

(Building back up, drums hit hard)

Open your mind to the truth that's real

Sin has no importance, no power to hold you still

Chorus

(Explosive, final iteration)

You're not lost to the outer dark

You're safe, you are my blood

Yeah, you are my son

Stay away from the deeds of darkness

Walk in the glorious light

'Cause that is what you were made for

(Outro - repeated, fading guitar feedback and single, clean guitar chord)

Walk in the glorious light...

(Fade out)
