[Intro]
[Verse I]
Born from a whisper, carved in the stone
The wind called his name like a prophecy known
Eyes like eclipses, soul forged in flame
He walks the thin line between madness and fame
[Pre-Chorus]
They built him a prison of silence and doubt
But bars made of fear he can live without
[Chorus]
He rides the storm with bleeding wings,
The cage can’t hold a heart that sings
Across the ages, time can’t see
The man who must be free
Destiny burns in a voice unheard,
He speaks in riddles, walks with the stars
The lock is broken, throw away the key
He must be free… to reach what he must be
[Verse II]
Lantern of secrets he holds in his chest
Maps to a world where no soul dares to rest
A shadow of heaven, a scar of the void
He laughs like a hero, but love he destroyed
[Pre-Chorus]
The whispers return in the dead of the night
But he dances with ghosts by the pale twilight
[Chorus]
He rides the storm with bleeding wings,
The cage can’t hold a heart that sings
Across the ages, time can’t see
The man who must be free
Destiny burns in a voice unheard,
He speaks in riddles, walks with the stars
The lock is broken, throw away the key
He must be free… to reach what he must be
[Solo – Instrumental (Blistering neoclassical arpeggios build to a harmonized twin-guitar run,
then descend into a melodic, emotional sweep-picking phrase
before ending on a defiant power chord echoing the chorus melody)]
[Bridge – Spoken Whisper, then sung powerfully]
“Chains are but questions…
And he is the answer…
Born not to stay… but to remember…”
[Chorus (final) – Extended]
He rides the storm with bleeding wings,
The cage can’t hold a heart that sings
Across the ashes, fate will kneel
To the man no chain could steal
Destiny’s child of the shattered sky,
He lives in thunder, he learns to fly
You cannot bind what was born to be…
He must be free… he must be free…
He must be… me.
