Track Insight / Lyrics
Guttural growls, battered boots
Against the pavement, a rhythm beats
Echoes of a past I can't quite reach
Neon lights flickering, shadows real
I wake up numb, woke up chained
To memories that I cannot break
Scars on my skin, like words unspoken
Words that bleed and leave me worn, forsaken
[Pre-
But still I rise, one heavy step
Against the weight of all I've been
Crawling out from under, slowly breathing deep
Rusting chains, the city's sound
Neon chains, they bind me tight
Grit and grime, a city's fight
I'll shatter links and find my way
To a light that's brighter than the fray
I stumble through, a ghost among the crowd
Haunted by the ghosts of streets unsheltered loud
Neon signs cast shadows in my mind
A reflection of a life I almost left behind
Neon chains, they bind me tight
Grit and grime, a city's fight
I'll shatter links and find my way
To a light that's brighter than the fray
Rough, distorted riffs rip through the night
Pounding drums, a relentless, brutal fight
Against the grinding gears, the 'shine and steel
A visceral, raw, unbridled, untamed feel
Wild, wailing solos weave through the pain
Scalding leads that pierce the drifting rain
A torrent of raw emotion, unrelenting and free
The violence of sound, a catharsis, a release
Neon chains, they bind me tight
Grit and grime, a city's fight
I'll shatter links and find my way
To a light that's brighter than the fray
I'll rise above the city's din
Break the chains, let my spirit win
In the neon glow, I'll find my strength
And forge a path to a brighter length.
