Anthem Lights' song 'Freedom Into Slavery' explores the paradox of Christian freedom, where believers sometimes misuse their liberty in Christ and end up enslaved to sin. The lyrics reflect on the struggle of knowing God's forgiveness yet still choosing to push Him away, fading moral clarity into grey. The song acknowledges human pride as the root problem and expresses a need for God's help. It ultimately affirms that true freedom is found in Christ, yet admits the tendency to turn that freedom into slavery through selfish choices.

Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I feel
If I didn�??t know that You would forgive me
If it wasn�??t so real
Maybe I would act different
Maybe I would be blameless
With forgive and forget left out
Would I still think all this wrong was OK
Why do I push You away
When I know You can�??t be gone
Why do I fade black and white to grey
When the lines are clearly drawn
It seems I found a way, I found a way
To turn freedom into slavery
I found a way, I found a way
To turn freedom into slavery
Still it�??s making me wonder
See, I believe that I�??m free
But somehow knowing I can do anything
Has put chains on me
Right here beside You
I got all that I need
But still I choose to run away
Just because I�??m free
Why do I push You away
When I know You can�??t be gone
Why do I fade black and white to grey
When the lines are clearly drawn
It seems I found a way, I found a way
To turn freedom into slavery
I found a way, I found a way
To turn freedom into slavery
I found a way, I found a way
To turn freedom into slavery
I found a way, I found a way
So why do I run just �??cause I can
When I don�??t even got chains on my hands
See, the problem lies in my own pride
Lord, I need Your help, �??cause by myself
It seems I found a way, I found a way
To turn freedom into slavery
I found a way, I found a way
To turn freedom into slavery
I found a way, I found a way
To turn freedom into slavery
I found a way, I found a way
I have found a way
I found a way, I found a way
I have found a way
I'm free, I'm free
I have found a way
You know I found a way
