Iron promises draped across my chest
Morning light glints on their thorny crest
Velvet words hang like dew on rusted wire
My feet are rooted in a funeral pyre
I feel the pull of a vow I can't suppress
They whisper freedom beyond these walls
But my soul still answers to their distant calls
Shadows flicker where devotion remains
Tangled deep within these soothing chains
Loyalty's the chain I can't break
My heart won't let me walk away
They bend my spirit but I obey
Even when my mind has found escape
Still I'm bound by every word I say
Loyalty's the chain I can't break
Sapphire dusk drips through a glass of wine
Each sorrowed swallow tastes like tangled time
Colored memories bleed across my skin
Scarlet regrets where mercy should have been
I chase the ghost of promises divine
Sunset embers glow on battered bones
I carry burdens not meant for me alone
Dusty trails wind back to where I swore
To guard a door that slammed on my core
Yet here I stand, carved in silent stone
Let the thunder roll beneath my veins
Fuel the fire born from these chains
No storm can wash the oath I made
Even when my spirit frays
Feel the tremor of my silent vow
I'll honor the oath, no matter how
The horizon trembles at my plea
Caught between heart and liberty
With every heartbeat I taste the fight
A phoenix rising from endless night
I'll ride the tempest beyond this strife
Forge new dawns from sharpened knife
I stand unbroken, though hearts may ache
Still I'm bound by loyalty's stake
Loyalty's the chain I can't break
My heart won't let me walk away
They bend my spirit but I obey
Even when my mind has found escape
Still I'm bound by every word I say
Loyalty's the chain I can't break
Still I'm bound by every word I say
Loyalty's the chain I can't break
