lyrics

I have relinquished my sins,
I accept myself,
Becoming my own man,
I rise above the rest,
Now I know who I am,
Shame no longer,
Regaining my will to be,
The architect of my destiny,

Searching for my place in life,
I find that I've grown numb to it all,

Oh, break the chains of what remains,
And cast them into the fire,
Oh, our past does not define us,
And now I've found my identity,

Digging deep to find the roots
And set them ablaze,
The path I've chosen shall not,
Be tainted by temptation,

As I watch the bridges burn,
The flames reveal a smile across my face,

Oh, break the chains of what remains,
And cast them into the fire,
Oh, our past does not define us,
And now I've found my identity,

Set aside your false convictions and perceive the truth,
A system of conformity and hypocrisy,
A contradiction known to all but those who follow it,
I shall not falter in the face of adversity,

Waiting for a chance to break away,
I find myself imbued with strength,
And I push back with all my might,
This victory is well within my grasp,

I see you, my enemy, beckoning,
My soul is my own, begone from me
