Broken Chains Anthem V1

(guitar and drum solo builds in an anthemic beat and suddenly drops out to start the song) (Verse 1) The stone was cold tied against my soul Seems like centuries as time unfolds I counted cracks within the dark And felt the iron feathers fray my heart They whispered, "Learn the shape of lack, The chain's the only song to sing." I wore the rope like a second skin And almost forgot... the sky was a thing. (All drop out. Acapella and orchestra for 8 bars) (Chorus) But the wind remembered my name! Now the fury and the grace are the same And the storm untied the knot! In the freedom that I'd forgot! From an ember to a wildfire blaze, What was bound for a thousand days I'm painting my trail on the coming dawn! And my pain is gone... Tho I'm here my jail is gone... Need for grace is... GONE! (Verse 2) I see the tethers bound to me The silent chains of agony These gentle hands they fear their strength My power retaken, damn narcissist spent I know the weight that pins you down ‘Cause I carved my name into the side of the clown Look up to me through the breaking clouds There is a strength returns, I'll shout it out loud. (Chorus) But the wind remembered my name! Now the fury and the grace are the same And the storm untied the knot! In the freedom that I'd forgot! From an ember to a wildfire blaze, What was bound for a thousand days I'm painting my trail on the coming dawn! And my pain is gone... Tho I'm here my jail is gone... Need for grace is... GONE! (Bridge) I see the ropes of blue they can't! My future singing in the air, victory chant! The love that pulls us past the wall! All his lies exposed, final fall. My vision sharp and clear and stark! To the cage of my mind, hiding in the dark! My wings are thunder, my heart's the key My Anthem rings! Nothing holds me. (Dueling guitar solo for 8 bars) (Chorus) And the wind is SCREAMING, I soar in grace! And the sun is melting his mask filled face! We'll turn the fury and pain to grace! Into freedom on the rocks, all hearts in place! From a million embers, a wildfire blaze! What was bound for a thousand days Oh 2 be free! Oh 2 find my peace! Oh 2 find rest! I am to blessed to ever be stressed! (Outro) Nothing will hold me... Nothing can bind... I carry the dawn... For the ones left behind... I see what you cannot see yet... But you will... You will... I... spread my wings. I fly.. where you cannot reach.. Where my peace resides... (Final, resolved chord, ringing into silence.)
