"Take What You Want" lyrics

"Take What You Want"

Oh oracle what policy
What magic word should I decree
Our future past what prophecy
The soul I trade in what currency
Where's the moral line for privacy
Is there a wall of secrecy
Fanatics rule in duplicity
These minor men in the majority

Take what you want from me
Every beat of my heart
Take what you want from me
It's all free

They cannot take what I have to give
My strongest hand remains passive
With all my might I must commit
Where freedom dies freedom lives

Take what you want from me
Every beat of my heart
Why don't you take what you want from me
'Cause it's all free

Take what you want from me
Even the air I breathe
Every beat of my heart
As far as the eye can see
To the parting sea

So won't you spare me your honesty
A vise-like grip on my reality
I'm seeing through the veil of hypocrisy
Open the cage and set the bird free

Take it take it
Why don't you take what you want from me
Every beat of my heart
Take what you want from me
It's all free

Why don't you take what you want from me
The air I breathe
Every beat of my heart
As far as the eye can see
To the parting sea
Take take take
Why don't you take
You can take every beat of my heart
You can take it from me
