In Front of Your Face
Take me
Shape me
Misdirect me
You always want to see me
Down on my knees
For ever
And ever
I will always
Be there in front of your face
Screaming
For years
And years
I have been obliged
Followed your rules
Without doubt or question
It is time
for change
MY words
Echoing in YOUR ears
Fear no longer exists
You will always
Try to break me
But I'll always be there
Infront of your face
With eyes wide open
With a mouth wide open
And a fist raised
High up the air
This time
I won't
Sit back and watch
You kill ever last inch
Of me
I will
Do whatever I can
To bring you down
And I am not alone
You will fall
Enough of
Your lies
Your dirty and filthy lies
You are always in disguise
Nothing but a coward, who will soon die
I'm stronger
With stronger faith
I have multiplied
And always will
I am the vox populi(1)
You will always
Try to break me
But I'll always be there
Infront of your face
With eyes wide open
With a mouth wide open
And a fist raised
High up the air
(1)Vox populi, a Latin phrase that literally means "voice of the people"
