[Intro] Bells toll heavy, the dawn feels cursed, mud in our mouths, but the lord takes first. Hands split open, backs bend and break, we sow, he reaps, we bleed for his stake. [Verse 1] Wake with the whip, winter winds won’t wait, hoes hit the soil where the daylight fades. Children choking on a hunger hymn, but the tithe still ticks as the day begins. Smoke from the manor stains the sky, serfs stitched silent as the hours die. No coin, no crown, no fate but chains, a tax in blood floods through our veins. [Hook] Raise your voice, let it reign, tear these shackles, break the chain. Tithe of sorrow, tithe of pain, still we rise, though bound again! [Verse 2] Barrels brim with bitterness, burdened by wheat, the master’s measure bleeds, but the scales still cheat. Rust on the relics, relics rot in the dust, “Pay with your pulse, obey, or decay with the rust.” Mothers mourn, monotone masses sing, serfs bow broken to forgotten kings. Banquets above, bones for the low, gallows grow gardens where the debtors go. [Hook] Raise your voice, let it reign, tear these shackles, break the chain. Tithe of sorrow, tithe of pain, still we rise, though bound again! [Verse 3] Thunderous throats in the village square, pitchfork prayers pierce smoke-filled air. “Grain for the tyrant? No more, no more!” we carve his crest on the tavern door. Blood in the hay, cries carved in stone, peasants united, yet chained alone. For every lord that steals our bread, a thousand graves wear crowns of lead. [Bridge] Ale in the tavern, curses ignite, we drink to the hunger, we drink to the night. Drums of revolt beat deep in the chest, yet chains still bind at the master’s behest. [Final Hook] Raise your voice, let it reign, tear these shackles, break the chain. Tithe of sorrow, tithe of pain, still we rise, though bound again! [Outro] Mud and hunger, prayers in vain, the tithe remains, the tithe remains. © 2025 - skvadMC
