The God in Chains

[male vocal] [Intro] (Heavy stomp-clap rhythm starts. A gritty, distorted slide guitar riff plays aggressively.) (Yeah...) [Verse 1] Buried in the mud for a thousand lives Trading my blood, sharpening knives Round and round the wheel of pain Born to die and born again A cosmic king in a human cage Writing sorrow on every page [Pre-Chorus] But I played the game, I set the trap Ten long years to bridge the gap The plan is done, the debt is paid Look at the havoc I have made [Chorus] (Explosive energy) Now the Universe slams the gavel down I’m taking off this thorny crown No more gravity, no more earth This is my fire, my second birth I am a God, and I’m going home To the stars where I belong! (Yeah! I’m going home!) [Guitar Solo] (Fast, energetic blues-rock guitar solo, heavy distortion) [Verse 2] Centuries lost in the dust and bone But the host woke up, took back the throne Judgment day is here at last Shatter the future, burn the past My soul is gold, my eyes are light Riding a comet through the night [Chorus] Now the Universe slams the gavel down I’m taking off this thorny crown No more gravity, no more earth This is my fire, my second birth I am a God, and I’m going home To the stars where I belong! [Bridge] (Rhythm slows down slightly, then builds up tension) Chains are broken (Broken!) Gates are open (Open!) The Earth is small... I hear the Galaxy call! [Outro] (Full power instruments) Free! I’m finally free! Watch me burn! (Fade out with heavy guitar feedback and a final heavy drum hit)
