Burn the Bridges (Metal)

(Verse 1) I’ve been dancing with the devil in a dead-end town Same old poison, yeah it drags me down Every promise that I made, I betrayed in the dark Left a trail of ashes where I lost my spark (Pre-Chorus) I hear the whisper, “just one more time” But I know that voice—it’s a lie in disguise (Chorus) So I’ll burn the bridges, light up the past Strike the match, no looking back Let it all go up in flames tonight Set my demons to the fire, watch ‘em die No retreat, no surrender in my soul Cut the ties, I’m taking control If I wanna be free, I gotta dig ditches And bury the old me—burn the bridges (Verse 2) Every open door was a loaded gun Every step I took, I’d come undone Kept a lifeline hidden just in case I’d fall But a safety net’s just another chain on the wall (Pre-Chorus) No more exits, no escape route If I’m gonna change, I gotta lock it down (Chorus) So I’ll burn the bridges, light up the past Strike the match, no looking back Let it all go up in flames tonight Set my demons to the fire, watch ‘em die No retreat, no surrender in my soul Cut the ties, I’m taking control If I wanna be free, I gotta dig ditches And bury the old me—burn the bridges (Breakdown) Tear it down—every memory that drags me under Rip it out—let the lightning split me like thunder No more chains, no more second chances I’d rather bleed than live in those trances (Bridge) There’s no road back when it’s ashes and smoke No relapse when the past is broke I’m standing here in the aftermath A new man rising from the blast (Final Chorus) Yeah I burned the bridges, watched ‘em fall Now there’s no way back at all Let it all go up in flames tonight I became the fire, I became the fight No retreat, no surrender in my veins I was forged in the heat of the flames If I wanna be free, no more wishes— I live by the fire… I burn the bridges (Outro) Ashes fade… but I remain Walk through fire… break the chain
