Unbound by the Grave
Written, Performed, and Produced by Sarah Afshar
[Verse 1]
I’m climbing from the darkness, out of chains and dust,
No tombstone can hold me down, in faith I place my trust.
Every shackle that they placed, every curse they gave,
I've risen like a phoenix, unbound by the grave.
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm breaking free—no pit can keep my soul,
The power of my spirit shatters every hold.
From the shadows to the light, I boldly ride the wave,
No longer tied to earth, I’m unbound by the grave.
[Verse 2]
They tried to lock me in despair, to bind me like a slave,
But mercy stirred within my heart, and turned the dark to brave.
The winds of change have lifted me beyond every knave,
Now freedom sings through every vein, unbound by the grave.
[Bridge]
No crypt or cold confinement, no chains of bitter past,
I’m marching to a new horizon where hope forever lasts.
Listen to the thunder, feel the truth that I engrave,
Every step declares my triumph—unbound by the grave!
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm breaking free—no pit can keep my soul,
The power of my spirit shatters every hold.
From the shadows to the light, I boldly ride the wave,
No longer tied to earth, I’m unbound by the grave.
[Verse 3]
In every trial and turmoil, my faith refused to cave,
I soared above the fearful night, my heart the only rave.
Now watch me as I conquer all, my resolve no one can enslave—
I rise, rebellious, resolute, unbound by the grave.
[Outro]
So sing it loud from mountaintops, let every spirit crave
The sweet release of freedom that breaks every dark enclave.
For no barrier can contain the love I now engrave—
I live, I fight, I am reborn, unbound by the grave.
As the final echoes of Unbound by the Grave fade away, let the blend of mechanical beats and soulful reverberations linger in your mind—a cathartic reminder of the beauty found in darkness. This is not just a song; it’s a powerful exploration of grief and resilience, a heartfelt salute to those departed, and an inspiring beacon for anyone who finds solace in the fusion of raw gospel and industrial metal.
