Inarius’ Chain

Written by TheoDemoya

[Intro]

A prayer in iron, a mercy in stone

He bound the blood to spare his own

[Verse 1]

He tuned the world to quieter keys

To choke the storm, to calm the seas

He wrapped the gift in holy frost

And called it love to mask the cost

[Pre-Chorus]

Father’s fear became a creed

Sanctified in mortal need

[Chorus]

Inarius’ chain

A hymn against the flame

It stills the vein, it dims the name

And keeps our wings from rising vain

[Verse 2]

Beneath the shrine, a whisper cries

For every bound, a freedom dies

Yet in the hush, a heartbeat grows,

The buried light that stillness knows

[Pre-Chorus]

What is mercy? What is cage?

Ask the soul that learned to age

[Chorus]

Inarius’ chain

A hymn against the flame

It stills the vein, it dims the name

And keeps our wings from rising vain

[Bridge]

If fear can wear a sainted face

Then love must learn a sharper grace

[Final Chorus]

Inarius’ chain

May time unmake the stain

When children stand and break the reign

And sing beyond this chain

[Outro]

The organ sleeps; the bells remain
