SANCTUM PYRE - Break Thy Chains

With band permission taken from the "He Who Remains" album (March 20th, 2026). Band YT: https://www.youtube.com/@UCONgkEj2DZVxIX_sx1VTPfw A song about inner captivity and the silent struggle to break free — not from others, but from the bonds we place on ourselves. Blending epic metal with oriental influences, Break Thy Chains sets the tone for what Sanctum Pyre represents: atmosphere, emotion, and meaning beyond sound. Lyrics: Break Thy Chains Eyes that beheld the silken veil of night, A mouth that tasted kisses lit by silver’s gleam, A body that sweated and withered in aching arms, A life adrift, like paper cast upon a rushing stream. Lies did steal thy mind away, And carved thy youth with sharpened edge; They slew thy dreams, and Morpheus Took fright and wandered far from thee. On dampened roads thou found thy sleep, 'Neath crimson cloth thy shape did hide; In some forsaken corner lay’st thou low, With wound upon thy breast, and sorrow in thy soul. Ne’er didst thou grasp how years were lost, For never didst thou reach the place thy longing sought; Entwined wert thou in thread of darkest weave. A spider left thee in that place, and claimed thee hers, And thou didst wither in surrender, Abandoning all — It was the Fates who penned this tale, And thou didst never rise to break thy chains It was the Fates who penned this tale, And thou didst never rise to break thy chains Credits: Vocals: Rob Lundgren Music, Lyrics, Orchestration: Nikos Tzouannis Guitars, Bass, Drum Programming, Mixing: Mike G.
