Freedom

The Freedom song We finally wake from masked confusion and realise the vast illusion vanities, egos and promotions caused wasteful carnage and sad emotions the world was cleansed with artificial care grandeur, greed with none to spare never forget and never forgive the shackled way we had to live. what they have sown, now let them reap our souls are fed and now complete. So on lonely farms and crowded streets in palaces and in slums give welcome to freedoms quickening feet As silently it comes. When you see a poor man crouched alone, A hungry, helpless thing set him on a moonbeam throne and treat him like a king. to all those who wear a hunters crown and feast on your remains rip away their purple gowns And let them feel the peoples pain Serene, unchanging, ever fair, freedom smiles with secret mirth And in a surge of insane devotion we can release this captive earth No iron bars, no flashing guns, No land, no sky, no sea, not even a bolts from Satins hell Can keep freedom away from me
