breathe life
open your mind
why don't you break these chains?
we could rise

I feel a different spirit
pumping through my veins
my world was set on fire
the flames will soothe my mind again

another spark of hope
soon I'm in too deep
caught in a half-remembered dream
before I fall asleep

I will not let them tell us
how to live this life
deception's obvious
come take a leap of faith

a prison of memories
come and dive in
evoking eternity
is the doctrine

don't fade in brightness
it's all or nothing
what you love might kill you in the end
I'll walk through fires
avert demise
I'd die a thousand times before I compromise

another code
another rule to be obeyed
and creeping doubts about
the roads I did not take

another reason, another storm
another place to be
before I'm torn

I will not be commanded

don't fade in brightness
it's all or nothing
what you love might kill you in the end
I'll walk through fires
avert demise
I'd die a thousand times before I compromise

I feel their norms still burning
in your veins
I will not be commanded
I will not obey
