In Chains from the Cradle

[Verse 1]
Born beneath a sky of fire and stone,
A debt engraved before I’d ever grown.
They say the sins of the father mark the son,
A burden carried from the moment I’ve begun.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands that never touched the soil,
Already stained with blood and toil.
A cry of life, a scream of pain-
Why must the innocent wear these chains?
[Chorus]
In chains from the cradle, bound to the pyre,
A prison of flesh, a world built on fire.
To gods, to kings, to the sins of the past,
I ask the void: how long can this last?
[Verse 2]
A child’s first breath is a tithe unpaid,
The price of existence, a shadow that stayed.
I owe to the heavens, I owe to the land,
I owe to the parents who shaped my hand.
[Bridge 1]
Tell me, where’s the justice in a newborn's cry,
When life is a debt you’re born to deny?
The state demands, the gods decree,
But where’s the mercy for a soul not free?
[Interlude] (Clean, haunting vocal melody)
They whisper promises of light,
While forging chains to hold me tight.
The echoes scream, the silence prays,
How do I escape these cursed ways?
[Bridge 2] (Growling vocals, frenetic instrumentation)
Break the wheel, shatter the lies!
I’ll burn the temple that demands my life!
No gods, no kings, no debts unpaid-
I’ll forge my fate in the fires of rage!
[Chorus (Reprise)]
In chains from the cradle, but not to the grave,
I’ll tear through the darkness, unshackled, unmade.
To gods, to kings, to the sins of the past,
This hell they built will crumble at last.
[Outro] (Clean vocals with heavy, doomy guitars)
Born in chains, but not in vain,
Through ash and fire, I’ll rise again.
A child’s first breath need not be pain-
The cycle ends; I’ll break the chain.
