What is the price of progress?
To silence awareness
To dilute the truth
I will not become a sheep
I will not stand for less than my worth

Men become tyrants
Brand us with their perverse reasoning
A crystal clarity is all I have
As defense against their attacks
We are bombarded
And the landscape changes endlessly
I am a sentinel for truth
Understanding awareness and love
Today is not just another day to look the other way

They have a master plan 
To make us all submit
To their chip
I will be relentless
The reward I’m offered is priceless
All the goods and treasures 
Are meaningless
I will walk on the hot coals
I will speak freely
I will not give in
Not even with my last dying breath…….
