Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The noose around my neck
Cinched in tight unmercifully
The tighter it gets enables only my eyes to see
Truth through all the dust, twisted lies, which you decree
System unjust, you will never bend my knees
[Verse 2]
The broken and the blessed, both sides try to preach to me
Social unrest, who labeled me the enemy
In pieces shall we rest, for those who choose not to believe
So put me to the test, who wrote those pages of history?
[Verse 3]
Subject to another threat
Livin' without regrets
Pay the price with my death
The persecuted won't forget
[Verse 4]
I cannot breath, you watch the pain suffocatin' me, lies, lies
I cannot breath, you watch me bleed, suffocate me
[Verse 5]
Can't break away, my heart still beats unserved
My soul be saved, amen, condemned forever
[Verse 6]
Well I've been awakened, can't be mistaken
The lessons beseech you, break free from the noose
[Verse 7]
The noose around my neck
Cinched in tight, relentlessly
The tighter it gets, my heart still beats, but I cannot breathe
In pieces shall we rest, for those who choose not to believe
Liberty in death, after all is said, you won't break me
[Verse 8]
Subject to another threat
Livin' without regrets
Pay the price with my death
The persecuted won't forget
