My Testament

Black cars, dissonance

The constant fear that I'm living in

No telling how long I will last

The Stalin regime is watching my back

For God's sake, do nothing wrong

So I do that for which I was born

While women and children lose sleep every night

And fear every knock at their door

(Shh) See who? None

Stay cool? Done

Politicians, they live by their lies

The bright and the beautiful life paradigm

Tightrope? Woah

Slight hope? No

May the living and truth stay alive

With the gift I was given, uncover their crimes

Using our art for political gain

Stripping our style for your wicked campaigns

Worked like a dog with our feet bound in chains

Secret police? Two can play at this game

I submit to your wicked regime

Be your personal star employee

But my symphonies, harmonies, melodies

Hah! Will never be part of your schemes!

Who are you that we millions obey when our freedom is only display?

But what flaw do we follow a murderous tyrant

Ahem, better watch what I say

Watch out for that fine print, I'mma take you to the five-line labyrinth

I don't need to say words, stay silent

But you can figure out the truth behind it

If you decide to play with me

You better read between the lines

You're messing with a genius

What was yours was always mine

You call my opera a muddle of mess

I find your ruling far more grotesque

Made your own people oppressed?

Maybe that's why you walked out of Macbeth

This is my testament

Held in resentment

To all of my family members arrested

My heart is tormented

I tried to protect it

By being a part of the red army regiment

Danger is imminent, now

My story is relevant, now

The story's a warning to all who are ignorant

The call is from inside the house

Comrades! We must dedicate to this war

Fight back power we can't afford

Let our peace and joy be restored

By our fleet and sound of our horns

Get these fools far from our pedestals

Kick the soap box from their feet

They'll spit lies straight from the abdominal

'Till their stomachs pop from their greed

Can't have politicians or skewed religions

Make humanity fall apart

Build a generation, break repetition

And let our future finally start

They can silence the artist but they cannot silence the art

They can silence the artist but they cannot silence the art
