Martyr of the Free Word |
| 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 |
| 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 atone 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 |
