Spezza la Catena

I know you were born where the sky doesn't reach
Where hunger speaks before life does
I've seen that wall too, that narrow cell
But the harm you suffered isn't a weapon, it's a wound

But look into the eyes of those who think you're a legend
A little kid repeating every one of your cries

So tell me why
If the dark has broken you, you still pass it on to your own
Blaming the system doesn't set you free
Break the chain, don't leave it to those who come next

The rules aren't the bars of your hell
They're the only shelter for those who have no shield
Whoever sows anger reaps only ashes
And the weak you sing about are the first to fall

But look into the eyes of those who think you're a legend
A little kid repeating every one of your cries

So tell me why
If the dark has broken you, you still pass it on to your own
Blaming the system doesn't set you free
Break the chain, don't leave it to those who come next

Innocent is the one who starts again, not the one who blames the world
The one who turns the wound into a reason, not into hate
Raise your voice, never the steel
The real revolt is choosing not to

The one who lays down the blade isn't weak
He's stronger than the one who shoots and brags about it
You can stay the legend of a neighbourhood
Or the hand that taught someone else to believe

So tell me why
If the dark has broken you, you still pass it on to your own
Blaming the system doesn't set you free
Break the chain, don't leave it to those who come next

Why... why
Break the chain, and you'll be truly free
Why... why
Break the chain, and you'll be truly free
