Stygian Mire - Bow to No One

Verse 1 The map you drew has no hold here I ripped the edges off the page You speak of rules built out of fear To keep the wild birds in a cage But I have found a different pace A stride that doesn't need your track I look tomorrow in the face And I am never turning back Chorus I bow to no one, I break the line The breath inside me is solely mine No crown can bend me, no chain can hold The script you wrote me is growing cold Stand in the path or step aside I am the current, I am the tide My own direction has just begun I bow to no one Verse 2 You offer safety at a price A promise wrapped in velvet thread I will not roll your loaded dice Or follow where your steps have led The soil is firm beneath my feet The wind is sharp against my brow There is no surrender, no retreat The only moment is right now Chorus I bow to no one, I break the line The breath inside me is solely mine No crown can bend me, no chain can hold The script you wrote me is growing cold Stand in the path or step aside I am the current, I am the tide My own direction has just begun I bow to no one Bridge Go ahead and lock the heavy gates And tell the world the way it ends I do not bargain with the fates Or borrow power from your friends The quiet center of my will Is something you can never shake I am standing completely still While every wall around you breaks Chorus I bow to no one, I break the line The breath inside me is solely mine No crown can bend me, no chain can hold The script you wrote me is growing cold Stand in the path or step aside I am the current, I am the tide My own direction has just begun I bow to no one Outro No one. The line is broken. The track is gone. I bow to no one.
