Bastard Chain Lyrics by Soilwork

A Predator’s Portrait

2001

Searching for power, who is to blame?
You weak little bastard, bound to symbols of pain!
Hiding in shadows, a pungent smell!
You haven't decided your own fate
Cause your story of life is too bitter to tell!
Your dying eyes, with a cowards reflection
Heading for the true direction, forward to die!

Bastard Chain!
With souls so lame
The bastard's chain!
Bastard Chain!
With souls so lame
A bastard's chain!

So you say your mind belongs to them?
Turned upside down again, and again and again!
Feel ashamed, feel ashamed!
Yourself to blame, yourself to blame!
Only yourself...
Only yourself, you can blame!
Only yourself, you can blame!

Bastard Chain!
With souls so lame
The bastard's chain!
Bastard Chain!
With souls so lame
A bastard's chain!

Helpless you will devour!
Everything that comes, before your eyes!
Citizens of restless power
Never let your scorn rule, your fate!
Your fate!
Always dragging you down, to the ground!
A disgrace, a disgrace!
Your masterpiece, Your master race!
Only yourself...
Only yourself, you can blame!
Only yourself, you can blame!

Bastard Chain!
With souls so lame
The bastard's chain!
Bastard Chain!
With souls so lame
A bastard's chain!

Hey! Won't you tell me your name?
And Justify your way of thinking!
Walking the stairs of, the manipulated ones!
Only yourself...
Only yourself, you can blame!
Only yourself, you can blame!
