Slash the chain raise the gate and break the shield ![]() You have the power to take control of your own life and break free from your constraints. You are slowly being consumed by your unpleasant circumstances. If we continue to be ruled and oppressed, we will simply become lifeless carcasses, devoid of any real purpose or power. Slash the chain raise the gate and take a standīreak free from your constraints and seize control of your life and your destiny.ĭo they rule over us with cruel and oppressive force? You have the power to take control and make decisions regarding your own life. You possess the ability to take action and make changes in your life. You remain steadfast in your situation despite its difficulties. ![]() You are bound to the authority of your superior and cannot break from their control. Shackled to the shadow of the manor of your lord The ones you love- are they proud of their reward?Īre the people you care for satisfied with what they receive for the work they do? You exchange your hard work for a meager wage that does not match your efforts.Īre you content with what you receive in return for your labor? You offer your all for little in return and with no promise of bettering your situation. You offer your labor and efforts to those who hold power over you.
