I swore an oath to myself I would never break
A bond in blood, a pact taken to the grave
I lit the spark, then let the flames circle me
Watch it burn, it's the only protection I need
I'm too entrenched, I'm too far gone
I kept this vow through the eye of the storm
Some got burned along the way
Dropped like flies while the rest of us stayed
I stand in the rain under these clouds of grey
Watch the seed grow from nothing
I walk the path
Unchanged, still chained
I held onto my wrath, because it's
Engrained, bloodstained
It still lives, and it bursts through veins
Scarred and bleeding, on broken wings
It can't be feigned, a sentence to the grave
Don't pray for me now, I've weathered the flames
And you can't pry this from me
I walk the path
Unchanged, still chained
I held onto my wrath, because it's
Engrained, bloodstained
I walk the path
Unchanged, still chained
I held onto my wrath, because it's
Engrained, bloodstained
I swore an oath to myself I would never break
A bond in blood, a pact taken to the grave
Maybe the gate needs a lock, imposters run amok
If they reach out their hands, cut them off
I walk the path
Unchanged, still chained
I held onto my wrath, because it's
Engrained, bloodstained
I walk the path
Unchanged, still chained
I held onto my wrath, because it's
Engrained, bloodstained
