On the day I was born the skies shattered and wept
Symbolic description of a dramatic and impactful birth, suggesting a tumultuous destiny.
You best believe it was something to see, baby, saviour born sinner delivered as flesh
Emphasizing the significance of the birth, portraying a mix of divine and sinful elements.
When I took my first breath the earth rattled and shook
Highlighting the intense impact of the first breath, creating a sense of chaos and power.
I'm graced by disgrace
Acknowledging a state of being blessed despite being associated with disgrace.
I put rats in their place, yeah, they're barking like dogs while we're howling like wolves
Metaphorical imagery of asserting dominance over challenges, comparing actions to howling wolves.
I come alive forged in fire
Expressing a rebirth or transformation through challenging experiences and adversity.
My love will break these chains built from pain, they can't hold me down
Declaration of love breaking free from painful constraints, a resilient spirit.
From a mountain on high I feel I must confess
Reflecting on a significant realization or confession from a high vantage point.
There was a time I let hatred define me, I wrestled those demons and left pride in my wake
Confrontation with past hatred, overcoming personal demons, and leaving pride behind.
Rise and wake up, it's our time to prevail
Calling for collective awakening and empowerment, a proclamation of prevailing over challenges.
How could you think I would ever deceive you, I live by the sword and I'll die by my word
Asserting honesty and loyalty, living and potentially dying by one's principles.
I come alive forged in fire

My love will break these chains built from pain, they can't hold me down

These words are forced from my lungs with a time bomb attached to my tongue
Describing the urgency and pressure behind spoken words, potentially causing significant impact.
You wanna know will I fall?
Pondering the possibility of failure, leaving an uncertain outcome.
I don't know, but if I do I'll take this whole place down with me
If facing failure, expressing a willingness to bring everything down, refusing to go down alone.
And we'll drift off to sleep in a wakeless abyss
Imagining a peaceful yet unsettling sleep in a metaphorical abyss.
I come alive forged in fire
Reiteration of the transformative power of challenges, symbolized by coming alive in fire.
My love will break these chains built from pain, they can't hold me down
Restating the strength of love in overcoming pain and limitations.
I wrap around every thorn and every flower placed on the grave of your past mistakes
Symbolic embrace of both the painful and beautiful aspects of a person's history.
My last words are ripped from my chest like a wrongful arrest but I'm here to make you bury these lies
Expressing the difficulty of revealing a painful truth but determined to expose and confront lies.
My head hurts from all the truth
Acknowledging the mental strain of confronting and accepting the truth.
