Break The Bloodline

Lyrics

[Intro — whispered] They gave me a name like it was a chain. Gave me a ring and called it fate. But fate can bleed. And chains can break. [Verse 1] Born beneath a violet flame, raised to kill, denied a name. Every lesson cut me deeper, every promise made me weaker. Mother whispered, “Stay in line.” Father said, “Your blood is mine.” Then they put a blade between us, turned two sisters into secrets. I watched you fall, I heard them lie, spent six years asking myself why. But ghosts don’t sleep beneath the ground— you were alive when I turned around. [Pre-Chorus] They buried truth beneath the stone, made us believe we stood alone. But I can hear you through the night— three knocks, two knocks... I know that sign. [Chorus] We’re gonna break the bloodline, tear the curse out by the root. No more living by their orders, no more dying for their truth. Let the violet fire burn out, let the old throne turn to dust. They made weapons out of daughters— now the daughters choose themselves. You can keep your crown. You can keep your lies. Tonight we break the bloodline. [Verse 2] Voices crowded in my head, every life the ring had bled. Sight and speed became a prison, dead men speaking through my vision. Then I saw him in the chair, blood on his clothes, fear everywhere. They thought love would make me kneel— but love was how I learned what’s real. He never promised I was safe, never asked me to obey. He just stood beside the fire and let me choose to stay. [Pre-Chorus] So take your prophecy and go. I won’t become what you foretold. I’d rather hurt, I’d rather feel than live forever made of steel. [Chorus] We’re gonna break the bloodline, tear the curse out by the root. No more living by their orders, no more dying for their truth. Let the violet fire burn out, let the old throne turn to dust. They made weapons out of daughters— now the daughters choose themselves. You can keep your crown. You can keep your lies. Tonight we break the bloodline. [Bridge — building] Amia, take my hand. Not as rival. Not as plan. Not the heir. Not the shield. Not the blade they made us wield. If the ghosts still know our names, let them watch us leave the flames. I carry what was freely given. I release what isn’t mine. My life. My heart. My choice. My name. [Final Chorus] We finally broke the bloodline, left the violet crown behind. No more fathers choosing futures, no more ghosts controlling minds. Let the broken rings lie buried, let the morning find us free. They spent years deciding who we were— now we choose who we will be. No inherited chains. No predetermined life. We survived the bloodline. [Outro — quiet] No ring on my hand. No voice in my mind. My sister beside me. His hand holding mine. They gave me a name like it was a chain. Now I wear it because it’s mine.
