Intro
History’s heavy, written in iron and ink Every empire built on a missing link
Verse 1
Stone-cut hands in the desert sun Roman roads by the beaten and the young Kings and gods both took their share Chains were currency everywhere From palace halls to ocean floors Bought and sold like tools of war No flag clean, no age was pure Every crown was insecure
Chorus
But we named it wrong, we named it sin Said no man’s born to wear those chains Stood up when profit told us “don’t” And broke the rules we wrote in bones Yeah, we named it wrong, we named it shame And changed the world by changing names
Verse 2
Ships still sailed, the gold still called Easy money, moral fall But voices rose in candlelight Preachers, writers chose the fight Laws were inked with shaking hands Blood was lost to make a stand Cost us power, cost us pride Still we drew the moral line
Bridge 1
Not because we had to stop But because we said it’s wrong No empire gains by cutting chains Unless it learns to carry loss
Verse 3
No myth of saints, no spotless past Just humans choosing truth at last Didn’t end the world’s abuse But lit a fuse they couldn’t mute Now every tyrant has to lie Every slaver has to hide ’Cause once you say all men are free The lie don’t die quietly
Chorus
But we named it wrong, we named it sin Said no man’s born to wear those chains Stood up when profit told us “don’t” And broke the rules we wrote in bones Yeah, we named it wrong, we named it shame And changed the world by changing names
Bridge 2
You can curse the fire for the scars it made But it’s still the flame that lights the way History bends, but not by chance It bends when someone takes a stand
Chorus
But we named it wrong, we named it sin Said no man’s born to wear those chains Stood up when profit told us “don’t” And broke the rules we wrote in bones Yeah, we named it wrong, we named it shame And changed the world by changing names
Chorus
But we named it wrong, we named it sin Said no man’s born to wear those chains Stood up when profit told us “don’t” And broke the rules we wrote in bones Yeah, we named it wrong, we named it shame And changed the world by changing names
Outro
Every age wears its own disguise But truth survives when spoken loud We weren’t born clean, we chose to rise And that’s the difference history allows
Inside the recording
History’s heavy, written in iron and ink Every empire built on a missing link
But we named it wrong, we named it sin Said no man’s born to wear those chains
Every age wears its own disguise But truth survives when spoken loud
