Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Woke up in a warzone mind
Same old shame
Same crooked lie
Empty bottle on the bedside Bible
Heartbeats racing
Soul in denial

Hands shaking like a last-ditch prayer
Face in the mirror
No one there
Hit my knees on a cold
Cracked floor
Said
"If You're real
I'm Yours
I'm Yours"

[Pre-Chorus]
I was hanging by a thread
Breathing dust
Seeing red
Then Your mercy hit me like a thunder sound
All my shadows on the run
As You called me "chosen son"
Felt the weight start breaking
Breaking down

[Chorus]
Now my chains hit the ground
Hear the freedom sound
From the ashes
I am rising out
You tore the veil
Broke the lock
Turned this heart around
Yeah
My past can’t hold me now
I got fire in my lungs
There is hope in my shout
In the Name that pulled me out of doubt
I was lost
But I'm found
And I'll scream it loud
As my chains
My chains hit the ground

[Verse 2]
Still get dragged by the ghosts at night
Old temptations with a sugar smile
But I’ve got Scripture like a steel-cut blade
And a scarlet story no sin can erase

Every stumble
Every bruise I earn
You turn my failure into fuel that burns
I’m not perfect but I’m not that man
Got a scarred-up Savior holding my hand (oh yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
When the lies start closing in
Saying
"Here you go again"
I remember You already took that crown
Every nail
Every stripe
Paid in full
Paid my life
And I feel these prison walls fall down

[Chorus]
Now my chains hit the ground
Hear the freedom sound
From the ashes
I am rising out
You tore the veil
Broke the lock
Turned this heart around
Yeah
My past can’t hold me now
I got fire in my lungs
There is hope in my shout
In the Name that pulled me out of doubt
I was lost
But I'm found
And I'll scream it loud
As my chains
My chains hit the ground

[Bridge]
I won’t give up
I won’t give in
Every setback is where You begin
Every fall
I’m running to the cross again (hey!)
You bled for my breaking
You died for my debt
You rolled that stone
You’re not finished yet
Every breath I’ve got is a battle cry of "Yes!"

[Instrumental]
[Flashy guitar solo over half-time groove
Building into full-speed run back to chorus]

[Chorus]
Yeah
My chains hit the ground
Hear the freedom sound
From the ashes
I am rising out
You tore the veil
Broke the lock
Turned this heart around
Yeah
My past can’t hold me now
I got fire in my lungs
There is hope in my shout
In the Name that pulled me out of doubt
I was lost
But I'm found
And I'll scream it loud
As my chains
My chains hit the ground

[Outro]
Chains hit the ground
Every shackle
Every doubt
Jesus
You’re the anthem
And I’m singing it loud (woah)
