Long Live Freedom

[Verse 1]
They told me bend my knee
Smile and say "agree"
But my blood said, "No"
I was born to choose my road

Hands on my collar, tight
Tried to make me blind
Still I hear my name
Cutting through the chains

[Pre-Chorus]
I won't trade my breath
For a borrowed crown
I won't wear their fear
Just to fit the crowd

[Chorus]
Long live freedom!
Long live freedom!
I choose my own way
I won't be their slave

Long live freedom!
Long live freedom!
Better stand alone
Than kneel with the fake

[Verse 2]
If the room turns cold
And the tongues turn sharp
I will walk away
With my wild heart

Bad company fades
Like dust in rain
I know who I am
And I won't be tamed

[Pre-Chorus]
I won't trade my breath
For a borrowed crown
I won't wear their fear
Just to fit the crowd

[Chorus]
Long live freedom!
Long live freedom!
I choose my own way
I won't be their slave

Long live freedom!
Long live freedom!
Better stand alone
Than kneel with the fake

[Bridge]
Let the old walls crack
Let the false kings fall
I was never made
To belong to all

No more borrowed dreams
No more empty praise
I'll write my own name
On the edge of days

[Final Chorus]
Long live freedom!
Long live freedom!
I choose my own way
I won't be their slave

Long live freedom!
Long live freedom!
Better stand alone
Than kneel with the fake

Long live freedom!
Long live freedom!
I was born to live
Not to please their reign

Power metal symphonic anthem at a driving mid-fast tempo with galloping double-kick, palm-muted riffing, and full orchestra swells; verse rides tight band stabs and low strings, pre-chorus opens with rising violins and tom rolls, chorus hits with stacked brass, choir, and huge guitar chords. Mezzo-tenor male vocals soar with layered doubles, octave harmonies, and final-note holds; harp glints, timpani lifts, and a reverse cymbal bloom into each chorus. Bright, wide, heroic mix with punchy drums and cinematic depth., power metal, rock
