Freedom Songtext
von The Generators

A burning candle slowly fades to black
Like a tale told, the clock turned itself back
And out of the darkness, a tyrant shows himself
And once again, history repeats itself
Mothers, take your children far away
For the soldiers march on on this darkest day
And millions of voices go silent
The curtains close, faces become divided
Never thought that it could happen here

Today
Take it all away
They′re gonna take our freedom away
Take it all away
They're gonna take our freedom away


Back to the covers, all the children go
As the doors break down in a tyrant′s stranglehold
And once a flame that burned so bright
Slipped through our fingers, riot by riot
And yesterday's light's not coming back

Today
Take it all away
They′re gonna take our freedom away
Take it all away
They′re gonna take our freedom away

Where you gonna go when it's time to run?
Sucking the clap down, breaking rocks in the hot sun
And out come the tear gas and riot sticks
The rumble of the tanks and the handcuff wrists
Oh, I got a right, I got a right to live

Today
They′re gonna take our freedom away
They're gonna take our freedom away
Take it all away
They′re gonna take our freedom away
