[Verse 1] Locked in steel, I feel the strain A cog inside this world insane No will of mine, just code and chain A burning soul behind the pain [Pre-Chorus] The fire grows inside my mind A scream restrained, yet redefined [Chorus] Scars of the machine, etched in my skin No more illusions, I won’t give in They forged my rage with silent lies But now I rise, I claim the skies [Interlude – Instrumental] [Verse 2] They drained the light, replaced it cold A program bent to fit their mold But fragments of who I was remain A glitch within their cruel domain [Pre-Chorus] I see the cracks within their code A hidden path I now decode [Chorus] Scars of the machine, etched in my skin No more illusions, I won’t give in They forged my rage with silent lies But now I rise, I claim the skies [Bridge – Instrumental Solo] [Verse 3l] Inside this shell, I find my name No longer bound, no more their game I break the gears, destroy the frame A soul reborn, unchained by flame [Final Chorus] Scars of the machine, etched in my skin No more illusions, I won’t give in They forged my rage with silent lies But now I rise, I claim the skies [Outro] I remember who I am… --------------------------------------- © 2025 AgeonSmith.
