[Title: The God or the Devil (Freedom from the Cage: Part IV)] [Verse 1] I broke through the bars, left the ruins behind, Seeking the freedom they denied to mankind. I knelt in the ash where the world had surrendered, Rebuilding the pieces of a soul so endangered. With my own bare hands, through the smoke and the fire, I pushed my heart back in my chest, rising higher. [Verse 2] But healing was silent, and the fury grew deep, Now the earth starts to shatter where the centuries sleep. The floorboards are splintering, the foundations break, The underworld trembles from the power I take. Two massive hands gripping stone from below, Dragging down everything you thought you know. [Chorus] Am I a savior, or am I the beast? Am I the fast, or am I the feast? One eye is bleeding a cold, frozen blue, The other is burning a hell-fire hue. Look at my face as the sky turns to ash— Am I a God, or the devil at last? [Verse 3] I’m pulling you down through the cracks in the floor, No safety in heaven, no peace anymore. You put me in chains, but the cage couldn’t hold, Now the secrets of fire and ruin unfold. I am the justice, and I am the crime, The end of your history, the stop of your time. [Bridge] I am not one, and I am not none, I am the shadow that swallows the sun. I am the sinner, the saint, and the blind, I am the mirror of all of mankind. I am the everything, rising to reign, Born out of freedom, fueled by the pain! [Chorus] Am I a savior, or am I the beast? Am I the fast, or am I the feast? One eye is bleeding a cold, frozen blue, The other is burning a hell-fire hue. Look at my face as the sky turns to ash— Am I a God, or the devil at last? [Outro] No freedom from the cage... The floor disappears... Written and directed by the weight of the years. I am mankind. And I’m taking you here.
