"Songs Of Freedom" lyrics

"Songs Of Freedom"

Don't worry, mother
It'll be alright
And don't worry sister
Say your prayers and sleep tight
It'll be fine
Lover of mine
It'll be just fine

And lend your voices only
To songs of freedom
No longer lend your strength
To that which you wish to be free from
[?]
You shall lead
A life uncommon

I've heard your anguish
I've heard your hearts cry out
We are tired, we are weary
But we aren't worn out
Set down your chains
'Til only faith remains
Set down your chains

And lend your voices only
To songs of freedom
No longer lend your strength
To that which you wish to be free from
[?]
You shall lead
A life uncommon

There are plenty of people
Who pray for peace
But if praying were enough
It would've come to be
Let your words bind no one
And the heavens will hush themselves
To hear our voices ring out clear
With songs of freedom
Songs of freedom

Damn you unbelievers
Move out of the way
There is a new army coming
And we are armed with faith
To live
We must give

And lend our voices only
To songs of freedom
No longer lend our strength
To that which we wish to be free from
[?]
And we shall lead
Just lend our voices only
Only to songs of freedom
[?]
And we shall lead
A life uncommon
