Freedom

Freedom rings loudly now

Listen up, hear the sound

Of screaming as the shots ring out

That's what freedom sounds like now

Beating drums, fathers' sons

Teach 'em well till kingdom come

Steal the daylight from the sun

That's what freedom has become

Stand over the shadow of a man

Staring down his lifetime with blood stained hands

What had you planned to say?

Underground, out to sea

Bodies come to rest in peace

Fighting for the right for more

That's what freedom has in store

Asphalt burns, unsoled feet

Vacant eyes in defeat

Lost the thread on every dream

That's what freedom's come to mean

Stand behind the handle of a gun

Staring down the future daring time to run

Like time could run away

Freedom's glowing sadly now

Listen up, look around

Candles burn in memory

Freedom is a fading dream
