My child, don't you cry You are on your way to me Wooden pyre, stack it higher On your way up ask, is anyone really free? You will follow cheap advice You will swallow every lie Follow what I preach to a T And only then may you speak Part the seas of thieves and liars Pulling strings on base desires A day may come when you stand and resist A day may come when all this shall cease But it won't be today Give your mind to me Living life always Afraid And until first steps you take Here is where you'll stay Down here Only chance of escape Question all the way And there will come a day
