The Cage (Music Video)
By The Ronin Project · Metal · From the album Inside the Embers
You map your way through shadows
Thinking each step buys you free
But the echoes know the truth of it
Every footfall bends the key
You claw at all the surfaces
Trying to prove you're not confined
Yet every mark you etch in steel
Just traces bars you left behind.
You swear you're chasing open skies
But all your paths loop back the same
You keep feeding what you're fighting
And the chains remember your name
Everything you breathe,
Every move you make,
Serves the cage you swore you'd break
Every dream you chase
Every vow you stage
Falls to rust and serves the cage
You chase the spark of freedom
But the flame just bends to you
Every step you take toward breaking out
Recasts the bars in something new
You say you're shedding limits
Claim you're rising from the weight
Yet every truth you leave behind
Becomes the hinge that guards the gate
You light the match to burn the past
But ashes still obey the frame
You can't scorch what you're tied to
You just breathe life into its flame.
Everything you breathe
Every move you make
Serves the cage you swore you'd break
Every dream you chase
Every vow you stage
Falls to rust and serves the cage
The bars aren't iron
They're choices you repeat
The lock isn't broken
It's carved into your heartbeat
You say you're running forward
But the ground beneath won't change
Freedom isn't taken
it's refusing to exchange
Everything you breathe
Every move you make
Serves the cage you swore you'd break
Every dream you chase
Every vow you stage
Falls to rust and serves the cage
