You don’t own me - yeah. A day like any other day, hands in the dirt, Blue sky, hard sun, sweat soaking my shirt. Then I heard the screaming, ripping up the air, Column of smoke - my whole world burning there. I hit the yard where my home used to be, A wall of flame standing between them and me. I screamed their names till my throat went raw, But the only answer was the crackle and roar. Whoa-oh, no! Took my old man’s steel in my shaking hands, Black stone hanging like a hard demand. I went north to outrun the pain - Live or die - it felt the same. A blue-flame vision in the dead of night, A lover’s whisper - low and right. Devil said, “Swear to me and I’ll cut him free, Your father walks if you bend the knee. And I’ll lead you to the one they stole, Your daughter lives - now pay the toll.” [Chorus 1] Whoa-oh I’m gonna pay that price, I’ll do anything, just to make it right. I’ll sign my name in the cold blue light, I’ll be your blade in this endless night. Rush hit hard like a thunder crack, Head went clear - no looking back. Stronger than steel, fast on my feet, Heart like a drum, thunder beneath. Nothing I can’t break if I want it bad, And I start to like the strength I have. [Chorus 2] Whoa-oh, I could get used to this, Feel that power when I clench my fist. Ain’t nobody gonna stand in my way, Got the devil on my side - I’m here to stay. [Bridge] I dealt with a devil - and I learned you lose, Each gift is poison, dressed up nice for you. Starts like a whisper, ends up in chains, Pulling you under, feeding on pain. Devil said, “Leave your friends - you’re mine alone.” But I’d rather walk hurt than walk as his own. So I grabbed that chain at my own throat tight, Black stone glistening like a living lie. The Devil’s promise, the Devil’s fire, Hanging off that little liar. No more deals - no more “someday”, Just my own two hands and my own way. I smashed that amulet - the chardalyn cracked, Ended the bargain - took my life back. [Chorus 3] Whoa-oh - devil frozen in stone, You can keep your power, keep your throne! I’m no sinner, I’m not your own! I broke the chain - living life on my own! [Final Chorus] Whoa-oh - devil frozen in stone, You can keep your power, keep your throne! I’m no sinner, I’m not your own! I broke the chain - living life on my own! Whoa-oh-oh - I am my own [Outro] Nine days faded. I’m gonna find her - on my own.
