Lyrics
Intro
Wires snapping sparks are flying
Iron bars they're multiplying
Rusty locks but I’m still prying
Verse
Steel walls breathing down my neck
Concrete pulse it keeps me checked
Every shadow whispers threats
But I’m not dead yet not dead yet
Prechorus
Oh the weight of every lie
Oh the ground cracks when I rise
Chorus
Break the chains feel the fire
Burn the fear feed desire
Break the chains no retreat
Let the roar crush defeat
Verse 2
Shattered glass under my feet
Broken mirrors can't compete
They show a ghost I won't repeat
I won't retreat I won't retreat
Prechorus
Oh the weight of every lie
Oh the ground cracks when I rise
