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 judgment |
|
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 a-tone their social blunders |
|
If you gun down the messenger |
|
You guarantee that he will be made |
|
Into a saint a martyr of the free word |
|
I will say |
|
(I will say) |
|
What I think |
|
(What I think) |
|
I will do |
|
(I will do) |
|
What I say |
|
(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 |
|
Then you'll discover it mustn't |
|
Always end in hate |
|
It's not too late for mercy |
|
Those who denounce a way of life |
|
Will stand alone |
|
Left to a-tone their social blunders |
|
If you gun down the messenger |
|
You guarantee that he will be made |
|
Into a saint a martyr of the free word |
|
I will say |
|
(I will say) |
|
What I think |
|
(what I think) |
|
I will do |
|
(I will do) |
|
What I say |
|
(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 |
