[Intro - Wah-Wah Guitar Moan] (Instrumental build: Eerie riff fading in, distant drums rumble) [Verse 1] I snared the storm last night Clutched it tight And hurled it into the fray Got the flawless fraud A shadowed bond With a venomous sway Bait the hook and dive in deep Devour the lie And cradle the blade to sleep Rusted grin, fractured grace Silver snare is savage chase [Chorus] And I hate the grip you've got me locked within And I hate the grip you've got me locked within And I hate the grip you've got me locked within Twisted wire, pulling thin [Verse 2] Rev the engine, chase the ghost Crank it high And leave this hollow host Far from the fray, the splintered throne This iron vice has carved my bone Crystal vein, midnight stain Silver snare is searing flame [Chorus] And I hate the grip you've got me locked within And I hate the grip you've got me locked within And I hate the grip you've got me locked within Twisted wire, pulling thin And I hate the grip you've got me locked within [Bridge - Building Intensity, Guitar Solo] Rusted grin, fractured grace Silver snare is savage chase And I won't beg for the key Won't kneel to the decree I claim the storm, I break the seam No more dangling in your dream (Ad-libs: Scream it raw... yeah, shatter the chain! High-range howl: Rise... break... free!) [Outro Chorus - Explosive Climax] And I hate the grip... (full band thunder, layered screams) You've got me locked within! (repeated x4, fading riff chaos) Twisted wire... pulling thin... Silver snare... (final howl dissolve) [End]
