Chainbreaker’s Creed

(Track 6)
Key: A minor
Tempo: 82 BPM – marching groove with grit and uplift
Vibe: Blues-rock soul meets spiritual fire; gritty yet anthemic

[Verse 1]

Am – Dm – E7 – Am
I was born with shackles hangin’ off my name
Walked through silence, carried blame
They told me "know your place," I learned to rise
Wrote my truth in blood and compromise

Am – Dm – E7 – Am
I’ve seen backs turned, doors slammed tight
But I sharpened my will in the darkest night
Every bruise became my seed
Now I live by the Chainbreaker’s Creed

[Chorus]

F – C – G – Am
I don’t bow, I don’t plead
I was made to rise, I was born to lead
Through fire and hurt, I plant my speed
Yeah, I walk tall in the Chainbreaker’s Creed

F – C – G – Am
You can bind my hands, but not my flame
I’ve reclaimed every inch of shame
From pain to pride, I’ve been freed
And I live loud by the Chainbreaker’s Creed

[Verse 2]

Am – Dm – E7 – Am
They prayed I’d quit, prayed I’d fall
But I kept singin’ to the prison wall
My voice found cracks in the iron lie
And lifted hearts too numb to cry

Am – Dm – E7 – Am
Don’t need revenge, don’t need a crown
Just a song to keep from drownin’ down
This ain’t no tale of rage or greed
It’s soul reborn in the Chainbreaker’s Creed

[Chorus – Stronger Feel]

F – C – G – Am
I don’t run, I don’t hide
I face the storm with open pride
Through loss and love, I plant my seed
I rise again on the Chainbreaker’s Creed

[Bridge – Spoken with reverence]

Dm – G – C – Am
To the lost, to the bruised, to the ones unheard—
You are more than their forgotten word
Hold your line, lift your need
And take a vow in the Chainbreaker’s Creed

[Final Chorus – Choir-style backing idea]

F – C – G – Am
I don’t kneel to fear or need
I stand strong on what I believe
And if they ask what built my speed…
I’ll say it loud—the Chainbreaker’s Creed
