RELEASE
(Intro – guttural growl, half-spoken, distorted)
GO—
Grrraah—let it rip, fuck the leash, fuck the lies!
Chains on my throat but I’m still alive!
GO! GO!
I’m done being small—I’M READY TO FIGHT!
(Riff kicks in)
Verse 1
Pressure in my skull, clock ticks like a bomb
They fed me fear, said “stay calm, stay numb”
I bit my tongue till I tasted rust
Now the cage cracks open—now it’s me or dust
Pre-Chorus
Hear the sirens in my veins
All this weight, all this pain
Say my name like a sin
Strike the match—let me in
Chorus
RELEASE! Tear the lock from the door
RELEASE! I won’t kneel anymore
Hands in the fire, truth in my teeth
I’m breaking the spell—RELEASE! RELEASE!
(Post-chorus chant)
Let it go! Let it go!
From the ground to the throat—LET IT GO!
Verse 2
I wore their rules like a loaded gun
Pulled back tight till the damage was done
Every “no” carved into bone
But I learned how to scream on my own
Pre-Chorus
Hear the thunder when I breathe
This is war with the weak in me
Count me out? Watch me win
Kick the wall—let me in
Chorus
RELEASE! Tear the lock from the door
RELEASE! I won’t kneel anymore
Blood on the truth, grit on my teeth
I’m breaking the spell—RELEASE! RELEASE!
Bridge / Breakdown (half-time, crowd call)
Say it—GO! (GO!)
Say it—GO! (GO!)
Cut the cord, burn the doubt
Rip the silence—LET IT OUT!
Say it—GO! (GO!)
Say it—GO! (GO!)
No gods, no chains, no peace—
I. WILL. RELEASE!
(Solo – screaming bends, dive bombs)
Final Chorus (bigger, gang vocals)
RELEASE! From the grip of the past
RELEASE! Make the moment last
Stand in the fire, king of the beast
I’m breaking the spell—RELEASE! RELEASE!
Outro (growled, fading)
GO…
No leash. No lie. No cease.
RELEASE.
