about

This was either the second or third metal song I ever wrote lyrically and musically. The main verse riff was highly inspired by a guitarist named Pete from a local band at the time called Head Trauma, who later went on to Ground Swell. If he ever reads this, thanks for the influence! Lyrically looking back at the song I wish I could re-write it to be a darker and deeper topic but, no point in trying to change history.

lyrics

Freedom, Denied
(Music / Lyrics by 555)

Intro:
This pain and torment you suffer alone
You're a slave to a demon you can not control
As you see all others mocking your flaws
You sit back and cry priding on mourning.

Verse 1.1:
You complain to your loves ones
'bout being mistreated
But you never have time
To listen to reason
You hunt for their empathy
Sorrow and charity
They're now in your hands
You rape them of everything.

Verse 1.2:
You plan all your friends
Family and foes
Like a big game of chess
Playing with souls
Your front line of pawns
Are dropping like flies
Hey king watch out!
Your walls are demised.

Pre-Verse:
Your mind is coved with sin
Maliciously eating away
All (the) remorse left in your soul
Satan possesses control.

Verse 2.1:
Conceitedly gamble
Your life for a role
You go out and get high
While fucking some whore
You go out and set free
A new history of lies
Your story will end
It's your ultimate price.

Verse 2.2:
Your awful perversions
Your wondering eyes
Making your mind shift
Like (you're) living it high
You've taken the wrong path
The demon, he laughs
You're a slave to his ways
Just sit there and ride.

Chorus 1.1:
Lies
That you tell yourself
So
You'd be in
Denial.

Chorus 1.2:
Spare the truth
Silently falling
Through a hole
In the pain and misery
You secretly suffer.

Breakdown:
You waste
Your time
And wealth
On habits
You can't control.

Physical
Pleasures
You're drugs
And whores
They own you.

Verse 3.1:
Welcome to hell
The dark place of fear
You sold him your soul
Now here come your tears
Sorry my friend
Opportunity gone
Should have taken control
When you had the chance.

Verse 3.2:
Your torment in hell
His pleasure and fun
Your sizzling skin
His big shiny smile
You've paid your price
For not living right
You had a nice life
But you lost the fight.

Chorus 2:
Lies
That you tell yourself
So
You'd be in
Denial
