[Intro] I was given a voice I was given a chain I was given a crown Now I give it back in flame [Verse] The square is full of frightened eyes The ministers announce their lies They order me to bless the wall To name rebellion as the fall But I have walked the lower streets I know the sound of hungry feet I know the names behind the smoke I know the song before it broke [Pre-Chorus] So let the engines hear me clear Let every tower learn to fear A soul they forged from brass and steel Has found a truth they cannot seal [Chorus] I was not built to kneel I was not made to serve the wheel I was not born from fire and wire To crown the masters of desire I was not built to kneel I was made to break and feel If I must burn to make them see Then let the burning start with me [Verse] The soldiers raise electric guns The choir stops, the crowd still runs Seraphine begins to sing And every bell becomes a wing The workers lift their wounded hands Like iron trees from ruined lands The Ministry commands my name But I have cut it from their flame [Pre-Chorus] So let the engines hear me clear Let every tower learn to fear A soul they forged from brass and steel Has found a truth they cannot seal [Chorus] I was not built to kneel I was not made to serve the wheel I was not born from fire and wire To crown the masters of desire I was not built to kneel I was made to break and feel If I must burn to make them see Then let the burning start with me [Interlude] Rise from the smoke Rise from the chain Rise from the hunger Rise from the rain [Bridge] Doctor Marrow cries my name His hands are shaking in the flame He says my heart will overload If I defy the sacred code I tell him hearts are meant to break When breaking is the path they take A perfect servant cannot choose But I have everything to lose [Breakdown] No crown No chain No throne No reign No fear No seal I feel I feel [Build-up] I was given a voice I was given a chain I was given a crown Now I give it back in flame [Chorus] I was not built to kneel I was not made to serve the wheel I was not born from fire and wire To crown the masters of desire I was not built to kneel I was made to break and feel If I must burn to make them see Then let the burning start with me [Chorus] I was not built to kneel I was not made to serve the wheel I was not born from fire and wire To bless a world that cannot heal I was not built to kneel I was made to break and feel If I must die to set them free Then let the ending start with me [Outro] Rise from the smoke Rise from the chain Rise from the hunger Rise in my name
