Verse 1 (low, gritty guitar riff) I was born in the shadows where the wild ones roam Learned to fight for my breath, learned to make my own throne Got fire in my blood, got steel in my bones And I’ll carve my name into stone Pre-Chorus (bass growl, drums build) You can chain my hands but you can’t chain my soul You can burn my bridge but I’ll still walk the coals Chorus (huge, slow stomp with heavy riffs) I’m a rebel — I don’t kneel down I wear my scars like a stolen crown I’m a rebel — I don’t play tame I’ll burn your rules just to light my flame Oh, I’m a rebel (black-hearted) Yeah, I’m a rebel (cold-started) Verse 2 (grind riff returns) Got dust on my boots, got blood on my tongue I’ve danced with the devil and I’ve still won No mercy in my grin, no fear in my eyes I was built to survive the fight Pre-Chorus You can chain my hands but you can’t chain my soul You can burn my bridge but I’ll still walk the coals Chorus I’m a rebel — I don’t kneel down I wear my scars like a stolen crown I’m a rebel — I don’t play tame I’ll burn your rules just to light my flame Oh, I’m a rebel (black-hearted) Yeah, I’m a rebel (cold-started) Bridge (drums drop to toms, tension build) I’m the storm in the desert, the wolf in the night I’m the blade in the dark when you cut the light No laws, no kings, no leash, no chain You can’t kill what you can’t contain Breakdown (instruments drop out to gritty bass and stomp clap) Rebel blood runs deep in my veins I’ll rise from the ashes again… and again Final Chorus (slower, darker, all-out) I’m a rebel — I don’t kneel down I wear my scars like a stolen crown I’m a rebel — I don’t play tame I’ll burn your rules just to light my flame Oh, I’m a rebel (black-hearted) Yeah, I’m a rebel (cold-started) I’m a rebel… and I own my name.
