Awoken by the thought Of a never-ending agony He took the right to break the chains But they stole the wind beneath his wings They wanted to make it clear It's them he must fear They liked to interfere Switch off his rebellious mind They made you a real deal, a fair deal They offered you freedom for your thoughts Well, sometimes confession can be a crime So they locked you away for a thousand years And tortured your mind with their own fear They raped your thoughts with disbelief Another day will break The pain might ease, but the scars remain They deprived your dignity Impropriate behaviour Your crazy fantasies 'Bout opposing governmental power Don't fit in this society They made you a real deal, a fair deal They offered you freedom for your thoughts Well, sometimes confession can be a crime Did you ever realize? So they locked you away for a thousand years And tortured your mind with their own fear They raped your thoughts with disbelief Another day will break For you the soul of a renegade They deprived your dignity Did you ever realize That they could lock away Your rebellious soul They locked you away
