[Verse 1]
I saw you sleeping in the light
Golden scales, a perfect sight
Power breathing in your chest
Untamed force I must possess
You looked at me like I’m the beast
But fear and hunger are the same
You call it cruelty, I call it fate
Every god has learned to dominate
[Pre-Chorus]
You burn the world and call it wild
I shape it… I make it mild
[Chorus]
You were never meant to be free
You were always meant for me
Every flame, every scar
I will shape you what you are
Call me monster, call me sin
I’ll rewrite the soul within
You can fight, you can roar
In the end you’re mine to command
[Verse 2]
You spared me once — a fatal flaw
Mercy is a broken law
You had fire, you had reign
Now you kneel inside my chains
Feel the rune beneath your skin
Hear it whisper deep within
Every step you pull away
Turns your freedom into pain
[Pre-Chorus]
You hate the hand that gives you breath
But I decide your life or death
[Chorus]
You were never meant to be free
You were always meant for me
Every cry, every plea
Only binds you closer to me
Call me tyrant, call me curse
I will only make it worse
You can break, you can bend
In the end you will understand
[Bridge] (ruhiger, fast flüsternd)
I don’t break you… I refine
Every thought I redesign
You will love what you became
You will whisper out my name
Not a cage… a higher throne
Not a slave… but something owned
Not destruction — evolution
I am your final conclusion
[Final Chorus]
You were never meant to be free
You were always meant for me
Every flame that you ignite
Burns your will into my right
Call me savior, call me war
You won’t know what you were before
You can scream, you can fight…
(Pause)
…but you’ll come back every time
