Witness the story of exploitation, forced marriage and Roman Empire oppression through the eyes of Sporus himself, how even the empire itself was unsafe while wars were waged in Britannia against Boudicca.

[Verse 1]
They shaved my name from my skin
Burned the boy I had been
White veil pinned in the dark
Ash on my lips like a vow
I walked the marble alone
Gold on my wrists like a rope
He said
"You will make Rome stare"
I learned to keep my eyes down

[Chorus]
Golden chains
Golden chains
Soft as silk
Sharp as blades
Call it love
Call it reign
Either way I bled the same
Golden chains
Golden chains
Heard my "yes" inside his praise
I was his
I was his
In a city built on graves

[Verse 2]
He dressed my wounds in his rings
Spoke of dead boys and kings
Used my silence as a mirror
To love a shadow through me
Feasts where the wine ran slow
Laughter cut deep as steel
When he kissed me in the torchlight
Every senator watched him kneel

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
When the crowd began to turn
Smoke over every dome
He hid his fear in my hair
Said
"If I fall
You fall"
Fire climbed every stair
Echoes under the stone
Was I a bride or a brand?
Or just a rumor in Rome? [low vocal register]
I never chose the crown
I never chose the knife
I only chose to survive
Inside his borrowed wife

[Chorus]
