Forced To Believe

Borders closed rules in place, police are ready, and the faith is safe. 
You oppress our people and give them no choice. 
You suppress our people and take away our voice. 
We will knock down the walls lets begin, again 
If we are forced to believe that is not faith it is mental slavery. 

Solution it is in the words that need to be heard 
Evolution of the thought process that’s the word 
Revolution of the mind and then it is a matter of time 
Until the mind finds the means to an end 
If we are forced to believe that is not faith it is mental slavery. 

The mental slavery of you and me 
For this lifetime for our eternity 
Don’t you think it is time to be free? 
This needs to be said 
We are no longer walking among the living dead. 

Right is right and wrong is wrong 
Why won’t you let us sing our song 
Blind, deaf, and dumb, now you have maimed us, you think that you have won 
We know you are wrong, without ears, eyes, or tongue, 
I hear our voices rising in one glorious song 
If we are forced to believe that is not faith that is mental slavery.
