3. Freedom & Tyranny (4:35)
[Verse 1]
Let us refuse to wait till morning
Return the ghost from whence it came
A version of the forgery slipped through
Tampered with the facts and changed its name
[Chorus]
Yet every night has its consoling agents
Close your eyes and see
[Verse 2]
The emperor will ride without direction
Give us submission as a price
Salvation is hidden in the fire
Fall to your knees, devour the lies
[Chorus]
Yet every night has its consoling agents
Close your eyes and see
[Bridge]
Sovereign smoke is overcast
Free will wasn't meant to last
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Hidden in a dream
Suffrage reigns
The changing, unshackled yearning
Once again, same refrain
Echo through the kingdom
Songs of love and death
Wounds of love and death
Let us refuse to wait till morning
Return the ghost from whence it came
A version of the forgery slipped through
Tampered with the facts and changed its name
[Chorus]
Yet every night has its consoling agents
Close your eyes and see
[Verse 2]
The emperor will ride without direction
Give us submission as a price
Salvation is hidden in the fire
Fall to your knees, devour the lies
[Chorus]
Yet every night has its consoling agents
Close your eyes and see
[Bridge]
Sovereign smoke is overcast
Free will wasn't meant to last
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Hidden in a dream
Suffrage reigns
The changing, unshackled yearning
Once again, same refrain
Echo through the kingdom
Songs of love and death
Wounds of love and death
