Píseň: Martyr Of The Free Word

Interpret:

Album:
Design Your Universe
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 ...


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 tolerance seems out of sight
We will fight
When liberty seems out of reach
We'll fight for our freedom of speech
