Shackles & Scars

My eyes have seen too much to sleep,

War-torn dreams I cannot keep.

Burning streets and shattered skies,

Truth in ruins, covered in lies.

I scream, but silence wraps me tight,

A prisoner in the dead of night...

I'm so lonesome I could cry,

Tears like thunder from the sky!

Break down the barriers,

Cut loose the shackles,

Let me bleed into the night —

I was born to start a fight!

Ashes cling to every breath,

I danced too long with ghosts of death.

They carved their names into my bones,

Now I howl where no one goes.

But even pain can spark a flame,

And I refuse to die in chains!

I'm so lonesome I could cry,

Tears like thunder from the sky!

Break down the barriers,

Cut loose the shackles,

Let me bleed into the night —

I was born to start a fight!

Guitar wails, like a soul on fire

Drums crash down, lifting me higher

Chains hit the floor — I'm not your slave

I’ll rise from torment, from the grave!

I’m so lonesome I could cry!!!

But I won’t fade, I won’t die!

Break down the barriers,

Cut loose the shackles,

Light the fire, raise the sky —

I was born…

I was born…

TO START A FIGHT!!!
