Burning Chains (Kiran’s Song)

(Verse 1)

I was born in the dark, raised by the iron,

A beast in a cage with a heart made of fire.

Every scream in the night carved a scar in my bones,

And they told me a monster is all I’d become.

Then you came like a whisper through the bars of my hell,

A spark in the silence where no kindness dwelled.

But promises shatter when the world turns to stone—

So I learned not to trust, learned to stand alone.

(Pre-Chorus)

Still your voice follows me through every waking dream,

A ghost in the places where I learned to bleed.

I don’t understand it, but it tears me apart

How you broke through the armor around my heart.

(Chorus)

I’m burning in chains,

Running from rage,

Caught in the fire of everything I’ve faced.

But when I see you fall,

I feel myself break—

’Cause I would tear down the world

Just to keep you safe.

I don’t know who I am,

But I know your name.

And for you…

I’ll burn the chains.

(Verse 2)

I blamed you for the years that stole pieces of me,

For the echoes of pain that I never set free.

I was lost in the fury I carried too long,

Too blinded by anger to see I was wrong.

But then I saw the truth written deep in your scars,

Every wound you hid like a map of your heart.

You were fighting your battles while I cursed your breath—

And my vengeance almost became your death.

(Pre-Chorus)

How do I beg forgiveness from the ashes I made

When the weight of my sins keeps calling your name?

How do I protect you when I’m broken inside—

A beast with a conscience that’s too tired to hide?

(Chorus)

I’m burning in chains,

Running from rage,

Caught in the fire of everything I’ve faced.

But when I see you fall,

I feel myself break—

’Cause I would tear down the world

Just to keep you safe.

I don’t know who I am,

But I know your name.

And for you…

I’ll burn the chains.

(Bridge)

If freedom means leaving you lost in the dark,

Then I’ll stay in the shadows to carry your scars.

I’m not asking for mercy, I’m not begging you stay—

I just need you to know I will find a way.

I’ll fight through the nightmares that claw at my mind,

I’ll break every wall they built to confine.

I’ll rise from the ashes of what I became—

Not a monster…

Just a man who remembers your name.

(Final Chorus)

I’m burning in chains,

But I’ll make them flame,

Turn every shackle into light once again.

If the world stands between

What we could’ve been—

I’ll cut it apart just to see you free.

I don’t know who I am,

But I know your name.

And for you…

I’ll burn the chains.
