Powerless

Verse 1

We hold so little of our fate,

Born too early, born too late,

Into a world we did not choose,

Where others write the paths we use.

My childhood felt like prison walls,

Cold and silent endless halls,

I served a sentence not my own,

For crimes and sins I'd never known.

Pre-Chorus

Even now I clearly see,

I'm not the master of my destiny (destiny)

Freedom is a painted lie,

A distant star within the sky (within the sky)

Chorus

Someone always holds the key,

Decides what we are meant to be,

The prison never truly ends,

It only shifts, it only bends (it only bends)

Yet in the deepness of the mind,

A hidden world is there to find,

A place untouched, forever free,

Beyond the chains surrounding me (chains surrounding me)

Verse 2

Now the truth grows sharp and cold,

Life is ruled by hands that hold,

Power resting with the few,

While countless voices break in two.

We control so very small,

Like shadows drifting through it all,

The chosen rule with iron hand,

While silence spreads across the land.

Pre-Chorus

Even now I clearly see,

I’m not the master of my destiny (destiny)

Freedom is a painted lie,

A distant star within the sky (within the sky)

Chorus

Someone always holds the key,

Decides what we are meant to be,

The prison never truly ends,

It only shifts, it only bends (it only bends)

Yet in the deepness of the mind,

A hidden world is there to find,

A place untouched, forever free,

Beyond the chains surrounding me (chains surrounding me)

Pre-Chorus

Even now I clearly see,

I’m not the master of my destiny (destiny)

Freedom is a painted lie,

A distant star within the sky (within the sky)

Chorus

Someone always holds the key,

Decides what we are meant to be,

The prison never truly ends,

It only shifts, it only bends (it only bends)

Yet in the deepness of the mind,

A hidden world is there to find,

A place untouched, forever free,

Beyond the chains surrounding me (chains surrounding me)
