Martyr Of The Free Word
Speaking in degradationA conversation can take a sudden turnAnd reaching the point of violenceBecause your silence left you without a hand to holdYour past will lead you on toMaking a final judgmentBased on your bias will never bring you forwardTerror should never guide youFor even the fearful can take a beating in the endSuspicion gets you nowhere
Those who denounce a way of lifeWill stand alone - Left to atone their social blundersIf you gun down the messengerYou guarantee that he will be madeInto a saintThe martyr of the free word
I will say - I will say - What I think - What I thinkI will do - I will do - What I say - What I sayWhen liberty seems out of reachWe'll fight for our freedom of speech
Requiem aeternam - Dona eis DomineEt lux perpetua - Luceat eis
Missing a simple contextA mental weakness can throw you out of balanceListen - Respect each otherThen you'll discover - It mustn't always end in hateIt's not too late for mercy
Those who denounce a way of lifeWill stand alone - Left to atone their social blundersIf you gun down the messengerYou guarantee that he will be madeInto a saintThe martyr of the free word
I will say - I will say - What I think - What I thinkI will do - I will do - What I say - What I sayWhen tolerance seems out of sightWe will fightWhen liberty seems out of reachWe'll fight for our freedom of speech
