Lyrics
"Born to Break the Chains"
Classic Rock • Saundo • Original Song Lyrics
[Intro – Gritty Electric Guitar Riff]
(Amp buzzing... drums kick in... guitar screams)
Saundo!
Oh yeah... turn it up!
Let's rock and roll!
[Verse 1]
I grew up on the wrong side of town,
Where the sun goes up but never comes down,
Daddy said, "Son, you gotta be strong,"
Mama said, "Boy, don't you wait too long."
Got a six-string burning in my hand,
A heart full of fire and a one-man band,
They tried to tell me how to live my life,
But I was born to walk through fire!
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been knocked down, I've been left for dead,
Got a thousand wild dreams running through my head,
You can chain my body, try to steal my soul,
But you'll never take away my rock and roll!
[Chorus – Explosive, Anthemic]
I'm born to break the chains!
Ride through the thunder, dance in the rain!
Raise your fists up to the sky,
We're gonna live before we die!
Born to break the chains!
No more running from the pain!
With a burning heart and a rebel's soul,
I'm gonna rock until I lose control!
[Verse 2]
Black leather jacket, worn-out jeans,
Chasing down the ghosts of yesterday's dreams,
There's a highway calling my name tonight,
And a red-hot moon hanging in the sky.
I've seen good men fall and bad men win,
Watched the world turn round and round again,
But there's a rhythm underneath my skin,
And tonight, baby, we're gonna let it begin!
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been knocked down, I've been left for dead,
Got a thousand wild dreams running through my head,
You can shut the doors, try to stop the show,
But you can't kill the fire of rock and roll!
[Chorus – Full Band]
I'm born to break the chains!
Ride through the thunder, dance in the rain!
Raise your fists up to the sky,
We're gonna live before we die!
Born to break the chains!
No more running from the pain!
With a burning heart and a rebel's soul,
I'm gonna rock until I lose control!
[Bridge – Half-Time Drums, Heavy Guitar]
Ohhh! Can you hear me calling?
Ohhh! Feel the walls start falling!
No surrender, no retreat,
Feel that fire beneath your feet!
(Guitar solo — wild bends, bluesy licks, soaring notes)
[Final Chorus – Massive Crowd Anthem]
We're born to break the chains!
Ride through the thunder, dance in the rain!
Raise your fists up to the sky,
We're gonna live before we die!
Born to break the chains!
Let the whole world know our names!
With a burning heart and a rebel's soul,
We're gonna rock until we lose control!
[Outro – Guitar and Drums]
Born to break 'em!
Break those chains!
Turn it up!
Let it ROLL!
(Final power chord rings out)
Saundo... keeping rock alive!
