Chain of Lies

Chain of Lies

Forged through history
These links of deception
Captivating the weak
Controlling the masses

We have but a single conclusion
There is only one solution

Destroy the chain
Use your brain
This is the one solution

Refuse the crutch
Take the walk
This is the revolution

This chain of lies
Once made the world burn
That time is over
Now the tables must turn

We are the blacksmiths of our fate
We forge our own chain
These old shackels have rusted over
Weakened by the rain

The time has come
To crush the chain
Don't become a link
and live your life in vain.

Same as usual, looking for crits on english/form.

That gave me gosebumps it was so good. When I first read it it seemed like there was a lot of filler, but once I read it a couple more times it got more like dialogue to me and seemed to tighten up the piece.
I'm wondering if crush is the right word about destroying the chain. I think breaking it would be too drab and expected. Something more colorful would be good there.
I just made a few subtle changes.

One solution --Cut that line to punctuate it and make it a bit different than the coming lines with "shun" sounds.

Thanks again for your feedback.

I agree with most changes, I think I might keep the line "These old shackels have rusted over" just because without "over" it seems a bit awkward.

Perhaps crush the chain? Or maybe cut.

You have crush there. I think cut might be not enough there either. Stick with the orginal unless you find something better coming around.
