Bastard Son

Verse
Lives are full of shattered dreams,
Where past and future collide,
Hollow promises and empty schemes,
Just looking for a place to hide.

These hollow hearts and broken plans,
They’re calling out my name.
In the echo of the recently fallen,
I can hear my own refrain.

Chorus
I’m just a bastard son,
Of an illegitimate mom,
Living my life untunned,
In the bombed-out ruins
Of my ancestors’ lives.

Glory be, Glory me!
Come look at the monkey!!

Verse
I'm tangled up in barbed wire,
Where shadows choke the light.
The whispers of a thousand ghosts,
Keep me up at night.

But I’ve got this crazy fire,
Burning in my veins.
I’ll carve my own damn story,
In this world of broken chains.

Chorus
I’m just a bastard son,
Of an illegitimate mom,
Living my life untunned,
In the bombed-out ruins
Of my ancestors’ lives.

Glory be, Glory me!
Come look at the monkey!!

Bridge
So I’ll rise from this decay,
Kick down these rusty gates.
I’m more than just the ashes,
Of the sins they can’t erase.

In a wasteland of forgotten souls,
I’ll stand and stake my claim.
I’ll break this cycle of despair,
And give them back their shame.

Chorus
I’m just a bastard son,
Of an illegitimate mom,
Living my life untunned,
In the bombed-out ruins
Of my ancestors’ lives.

Glory be, Glory me!
Come look at the monkey!!

Outro
Yeah, I’m just a bastard son,
Living in a world undone.
Glory be, Glory me!
Watch me now, I’m breaking free!
