Epica - Martyr Of The Free Word lyrics

Your rating:
Speaking in degradation
A conversation can take a sudden turn
And reaching the point of violence
Because your silence left you without a hand to hold

Your past will lead you on to

Making a final judgement
Based on your bias will never bring you forward
Terror should never guide you
For even the fearful can take a beating in the end

Suspicion gets you nowhere

Those who denounce a way of life
Will stand alone, left to atone their social blunders
If you gun down the messenger
You guarantee that he will be made into a saint
A martyr of the free word

I will say
I will say what I think
I will do
I will do what I say
When liberty seems out of reach
We'll fight for our freedom of speech

Requiem aeternam 
Dona eis Domine
Et lux perpetua 
Luceat eis

Missing a simple context
A mental weakness can throw you out of balance
Listen, respect each other
Then you'll discover it mustn't always end in hate
It's not too late for mercy

Those who denounce a way of life
Will stand alone, left to atone their social blunders
If you gun down the messenger
You guarantee that he will be made into a saint
A martyr of the free word

I will say
I will say what I think
I will do
I will do what I say
When tolerance seems out of sight
We will fight
When liberty seems out of reach
We'll fight for our freedom of speech
