The Weight of His Chains

[Verse - Ballad]
He walks the path
So lost
So blind
A shadow clings
It’s intertwined
The dreams he spoke
Now turned to dust
His fragile will begins to rust
[Verse 2 - Ballad]
Hands once strong
Now idle
Weak
The fire’s gone
No words to speak
A thousand chances thrown away
The darkness grows
It claims the day
[Chorus - Transition to Metal]
Why can’t he fight?! Why can’t he stand?!
The weight of failure in his hands!
A shattered throne
A broken crown
I watch him fall
I watch him drown!
[Verse 3 - Metal]
Flames ignite
The fury swells
The drums of war
The tolling bells
I scream his name
My voice is raw
The world devours him
Tooth and claw!
[Bridge - Metal]
Rise or rot! The choice is clear!
Face the pain! Embrace the fear!
Chains of sloth will drag him low
But in his heart
The fire must grow!
[Chorus - Metal]
Why can’t he fight?! Why can’t he stand?!
The weight of failure in his hands!
A shattered throne
A broken crown
I watch him fall
I watch him drown!
