Anonymity

Bound by this oath, 
by this oath
that I'm bound, 
I must bear the blame
for the evil that's found

Of the acts that 
were wrought,
I must ever speak naught,
and the trail of the doer 
shall never be sought

This vow that chokes, 
this dreadful yoke, 
that silences my voice,
is the price I'll pay for freedom
oh Lord, what a fearful choice
