(Bass guitar Intro) (Verse 1) In the city lights, where shadows play, I spoke my mind, let the truth have its day, But the echoes of words in the night, Brought the watchful eyes to my sight. (Pre-Chorus) Freedom's a song that's hard to complete, (harder to keep) When power's a chain wrapped around your feet. (Guitar and Drums solo) (Chorus) I hear the sirens calling my name, For daring to speak, for playing their game. (Wricked rigged game) Locked in a cell for a voice that won't bend, Criticized the leaders, now they call me a friend. (Verse 2) Under the moon, the truth felt so right, But they pulled me away in the dead of night. They say I'm a rebel, a thorn in the side, For questioning leaders with nothing to hide. (a lot to hide) (Pre-Chorus) Injustice whispers, but I won't retreat, When courage and truth are the heart's steady beat. (Chorus) I hear the sirens calling my name, For daring to speak, for playing their game. Locked in a cell for a voice that won't bend, Criticized the leaders, now they call me a friend. (no friend, no friend at all) (Bridge) The bars may hold, but my spirit is free, A prisoner of conscience, yet proud to be me. (Outro) In echoes of silence, my story is told, A fight for the truth, against power's hold. (Steel guitar solo)
