Sinking Freedom --Octelle
Freedom, you're on a sinking ship
Blinded, tossed about, losing grip!
Enemies laugh, as you drown
With your flawed throne and false crown
Be yourself! Open your eyes!
Deceit has slipped through with lies!
Freedom, you're on a sinking ship
Blinded, tossed about, losing grip!
