Píseň: Forever Free

Interpret:
Stratovarius
Album:
Visions
They try to give me answers 
To questions I´ve never asked 
I'll have no part in their conspiracy 
I guess I am the kind of 
Guy that will never stray 
The thing I need is privacy 
Some guiding, depriving 
Misleading and combining 
They're watching our every move 
They can try to bind our arms 
But they can't chain our minds or hearts 
We will keep our faith inside our souls 
And never let it go - we are forever free 
You see them making headlines 
New pictures tell old stories 
Explaining what they have said and done 
Media's new illusion 
Creating more confusion 
But I know that they'll soon be gone 
Some guiding, depriving 
Misleading and combining 
They're watching our every move 
They can try to bind our arms 
But they can't chain our minds or hearts 
We will keep our faith inside our souls 
And never let it go - we are forever free
