Deadly poison from the mouth of the elite
Words that only serve to divide
Only humans could be so careless
When will we see what’s right in front of our eyes?
Blind sheep, carried to the slaughter
Guided by whims that come from way up high
Will they ever break free from this spell,
Or will it cost them their very lives?
Chorus:
Freedom fighter, out on my own
Doin’ what no man dares to do
A lone wolf, standing alone
Nevertheless, I feel it in my soul
Freedom fighter, out on my own
Doin’ what no man dares to do
Is it still “majority rules”
If everyone believes something that isn’t true?
Underneath those flowery words
Lies an evil beyond our understanding
Meticulous and calculated
Nothing you see or hear is as it seems
If only someone would rise up and save us
Lord knows it’s what we need right now
Who among us will sit idly
And who will rise and seize the tainted crown?
[Chorus]
"Today there's been a wide-ranging debate about two of the country's leading newspapers giving in to a terrorist's demands. The New York Times and Washington Post printed a rambling 35,000-word manuscript that railed against modern technology and ended in this chilling conclusion: 'In order to get our message before the public with some chance of making a lasting impression, we've had to kill people.'"
I grab my tools, my AK, too
And who could forget that leather ordnance belt
Armed with the courage of ten
Schizophrenic; in over my head
Ain’t no one gonna get out alive
This i swear, lest the heavens fall
I make a move, the sirens wail,
One shot to kill; wouldn’t you guess? I’m in hell!
[Chorus]
Freedom fighter
Out on my own
Freedom fighter
Out on the road (2x)
C’mon! Get it now!
I’m gonna get getcha baby!

Let There Be Sound

‘Twas listening to the music one night
You could hear the record crack under the lamp light
When suddenly I was overcame
With a series of thoughts and opinions
Thinking of what all went into this song
The chords, the keys, the notes, and the drums
I realized without a shadow of doubt
We took this thing for granted
Chorus:
On the eighth day, God came down, and
In a booming voice, he said ‘let there be sound’
man molded sound in his image and likeness
And God was very well pleased
On the eighth day, God came down, and
In a booming voice, he said ‘let there be sound’
Centuries passed and the art grew strong
‘Tis the gift that keeps on giving
And so, I resolved to travel the world
Guitar on my back, sheet music in hand
To learn and grow in knowledge and love
The sounds of the streets, my guiding hand
I met a man who played a bongo
And I asked him if he would join my band
He looked at me, and in a joyful voice, he said
‘If only for a day! Now what is the plan?’
[Chorus]
After a long day of jamming in the park
The old man stared weakly into my eyes
“My time on this earth,” he said “is coming to an end
Thank you for the memories”
The very next day, I set my sights to the East
To continue my journey, to share my music
The friends that we make and the sounds we create
Will carry on with us to the next world

Our lives, it seems, are carved out for us
Everything we do, it has been done before
But that doesn’t mean it’s all null and void, no
It just means that we owe them the world
The buildings, the books, our sacred culture
It seems, even beauty and truth itself
We long for something that pride cannot give
Only righteous resolve and divine help
Chorus:
Every day I gain a new perspective
Appreciation and expectation
The future looks bright, because
the past is our guide
Don’t be unhappy, you know that
All of it is true and tried
The future looks bright because
the past is our guide
Respect is something that money can’t buy
The people we love are often taken for granted
But none of it stops us from doing what we must
It isn’t hard to find the answers
With God as our witness, close friends by our side
We’ll all get by with help from yesteryear
Call me crazy, but I just can’t shake
The thought of utopia drawing near
[Chorus]
Welcome to the world my friend!
Come on in! The water’s fine!
But don’t forget to raise your glass
To all of the men who came before your time!
The future looks bright because
the past is our guide (4x)

Let Them Live

Desperation
A lonely feeling
Not knowing the cost of this choice
If only you knew the truth
Pre-Chorus:
The media tells you
It’s the only way
Well, I’m here to say
You’re not alone, no you’re not alone
Chorus:
Let them live, you know that life is sacred
Forgive them, they know not what they do
The most innocent among us are
Being put to death and something must be done about it (2x)
To hold him in your arms you’ll see
Is worth more than the whole wide world
Knowing that you fought for him
When everyone told you to end him
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
It’s time for us to stand up and fight
The senseless violence has gone too long
Half a century of lies and injustice
So many people heard the sirens’ song
Pray for life, yes, pray for healing
Only God can save us from ourselves
We won’t stop until the whole world knows that
Death is never the answer
