[Intro – low rumble, faint heartbeat]
I’ve carried these chains so long
They sound like my own heartbeat.
But tonight… I strike the match.
[Verse 1]
Rust on my wrists, ghosts in my veins,
Carved by mistakes, baptized in shame.
Every link forged from what I regret,
Every scar whispers, “you’re not done yet.”
I’ve walked in circles, no sky, no name,
But ashes still glow in a dying flame.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been the shadow, I’ve been the prey,
But even a ghost can burn one day.
[Chorus]
Chains into flame, watch ‘em ignite,
All that held me breaks in the light.
Sparks from my scars set fire to the pain,
I’m not the same — I’m chains into flame.
[Verse 2]
I see their faces, I hear their calls,
But their lies crumble, their kingdom falls.
I’ve stood on ledges, gun to my head,
But the match in my palm lit hope instead.
From failure’s ruins, a spark takes aim,
And every tear fuels a brighter flame.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been the shadow, I’ve been the prey,
But even a ghost can burn one day.
[Chorus]
Chains into flame, watch ‘em ignite,
All that held me breaks in the light.
Sparks from my scars set fire to the pain,
I’m not the same — I’m chains into flame.
[Bridge – screamed / powerful]
No more silence, no more cage,
No more shame to feed the rage.
I burn the past, I break the ties,
I rise from the smoke with open eyes.
[Final Chorus – layered vocals]
Chains into flame, watch ‘em ignite,
All that held me breaks in the light.
Sparks from my scars set fire to the pain,
I’m not the same — I’m chains into flame.
[Outro – fading embers]
Rust turns to sparks,
Ghost turns to name.
From chains…
to flame.
