Freedom Is Not Free: It Is Stolen From Liberty

You look away every chance you get

Chance you get

You stray

So far from what it means to be human

But we rebuilt it all before

We rebuilt it all

And we rebuilt it all before

We rebuild it

You know

hhhh…

You know

nnnn…

You play pretend

As if we don’t see through it all, my “friend”

We are family

You know that it’s the Truth

You stole us from our seeds

But we rebuilt it once before

Twice before

Thrice before

A hundred million infinities

We rebuilt it all before

Rebuild it, we rebuild it

You can never win

It’s already written

You know that it’s the Truth…

We rebuilt it all before

And we’ll rebuild it all again

They live forever in our bones

In our eyes

In our souls

In our minds

In our hearts

Our hearts

‘Cause death is not the end.

No.

Death is the start.

And we’ll rebuild Her once again.
