Martyr of the Free Word Lyrics


Speaking in degradation

A conversation can take a sudden turn

And reaching the point of violence

Because your silence left you without a hand to hold

Your past will lead you on to make...

Making a final judgement

Based on your bias will never bring you forward

Terror should never guide you

For even the fearful can take a beating in the end

Suspicion gets you nowhere

Those who denounce a way of life

Will stand alone

Left to atone their social blunders

If you gun down the messenger

You guarantee that he will be made

Into a saint

The martyr of the free word

I will say what i think

I will do what i say

When liberty seems out of reach

We'll fight for our freedom of speech

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,

et lux perpetua luceat eis

Missing a simple context

A mental weakness can throw you out of balance

Listen, respect each other

It's not too late for mercy

I will say what i think

I will do what i say

When liberty seems out of reach

We'll fight for our freedom of speech
