Epica - Martyr Of The Free Word lyrics
rate meSpeaking interpretation<br />
A conversation can take a sudden turn<br />
And reaching the point of violence<br />
Because your silence left you without a hand to hold<br />
<br />
Your past will lead you on to make... <br />
<br />
Making a final judgement<br />
Based on your bias will never bring you forward<br />
Terror should never guide you<br />
For even the fearful can take a beating in the end<br />
<br />
Suspicion gets you nowhere<br />
<br />
Those who denounce a way of life<br />
Will stand alone<br />
Left to atone their social blunders<br />
If you gun down the messenger<br />
You guarantee that he will be made<br />
Into a saint<br />
A martyr of the free word<br />
<br />
I will say<br />
I will say what I think<br />
I will do<br />
I will do what I say<br />
When liberty seems out of reach<br />
We'll fight for our freedom of speech<br />
<br />
Requiem aeternam dona eis, <br />
Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis<br />
<br />
Missing a simple context<br />
A mental weakness can throw you out of balance<br />
Listen, respect each other<br />
Then you'll discover<br />
It wasn't [...]<br />
It's not too late for mercy<br />
<br />
Those who denounce a way of life<br />
Will stand alone<br />
Left to atone their social blunders<br />
If you gun down the messenger<br />
You guarantee that he will be made<br />
Into a saint<br />
A martyr of the free word<br />
<br />
I will say<br />
I will say what I think<br />
I will do<br />
I will do what I say<br />
When liberty seems out of reach<br />
We'll fight for our freedom of speech
