GALATIANS — “FREEDOM FROM THE CHAIN”

*[INTRO — DISTORTED BASSLINE → SLASHING GUITAR RIFF]* No preamble. No mercy. Count it in and GO! *[VERSE 1]* Who bewitched you? Who turned down the lights? You traded in grace for a list of new rights! I didn't get this gospel from a human hand— It came like a fire across the whole land! Face-to-face with Peter down in Antioch's street, Called out the hypocrisy right at his feet! You can't preach freedom while you're locking the door, Making people prove what they're already free for! *[CHORUS — EXPLOSIVE, SHOUT-ALONG ANTHEM]* WE'RE NOT SLAVES TO THE SYSTEM! WE'RE NOT BOUND TO THE CHAIN! CHRIST SET US FREE — WE WON'T GO BACK AGAIN! No more checklists! No badges to wear! It's grace at the center — WE'RE BREATHING THE AIR! Faith working through love — let the whole world feel! NO LAW CAN REPLACE WHAT IS RAW AND REAL! *[VERSE 2]* The law was a tutor till the promise arrived, A temporary guide till the truth came alive! Now Jew or Greek, slave or free, Male or female — ONE FAMILY! No walls, no ranks, no privileged few, No secret handshake to get through to you! But you bite and devour till there's nothing left— You're killing your brothers while claiming you're blessed! *[PRE-CHORUS — DRUMS BUILD, GUITARS CHOKE]* You were called to freedom — don't turn it around! Don't build a new prison on holy ground! Love your neighbor! Let the old chains fall! The greatest commandment is love for them all! *[CHORUS — FULL BAND, BACKING GANG VOCALS]* WE'RE NOT SLAVES TO THE SYSTEM! WE'RE NOT BOUND TO THE CHAIN! CHRIST SET US FREE — WE WON'T GO BACK AGAIN! No more checklists! No badges to wear! It's grace at the center — WE'RE BREATHING THE AIR! Faith working through love — let the whole world feel! NO LAW CAN REPLACE WHAT IS RAW AND REAL! *[BRIDGE — HALF-TIME, HEAVY PALM-MUTED RIFF]* There's a war in the flesh! There's a war in the soul! Every road pulls hard when you're losing control! But the Spirit grows fruit that the world can't fake— Not a mask you put on, not a deal you make! LOVE! JOY! PEACE! PATIENCE! KINDNESS! GOODNESS! FAITHFULNESS! GENTLENESS! SELF-CONTROL! LET THE SPIRIT TAKE HOLD! Against these things, there's no law to condemn! Don't boast in yourself — BOAST IN THE CROSS INSTEAD! *[GUITAR SOLO — FAST, DISSONANT, CHAOTIC, TRIUMPHANT]* *[BREAKDOWN — BASS AND DRUMS ONLY]* Carry the weight! Help the fallen stand! You reap what you sow — So give with your hands! Don't grow weary! Don't surrender the fight! Keep planting good seeds till the harvest ignites! *[FINAL CHORUS — DOUBLE-TIME, ALL VOICES SHOUTING]* WE'RE NOT SLAVES TO THE SYSTEM! WE'RE NOT BOUND TO THE CHAIN! CHRIST SET US FREE — WE WON'T GO BACK AGAIN! No more checklists! No badges to wear! IT'S GRACE AT THE CENTER — FREEDOM EVERYWHERE! Faith working through love — LET THE WHOLE WORLD FEEL! NO LAW CAN REPLACE WHAT IS RAW AND REAL! *[OUTRO — STOP-START RIFF, GANG VOCALS]* Carry each other! Don't carry the hate! Keep doing what's right! IT'S NEVER TOO LATE! I bear the marks — I know whose I am! Not by the law, but the scars of the Lamb! *FREEDOM!* *FREEDOM!* *FREEDOM FROM THE CHAIN!* [FINAL CRASHING CHORD — DEAD STOP]
