Whoever said this was set in stone?
A life controlled you can never call your own
I'd rather live my life with a mind sound
Than to dream in the clouds with my hands bound
Their tongues spill dishonesty
But their eyes tell no lies
With words they speak so heavenly
Yeah!
Their voices echo the void in sleepwalking minds
Becoming nothing more
Than another pawn upon their board.
Becoming nothing more than another pawn upon their board
I forever swore
My heart would never be burdened
By their wars
For this my heart beats ever harder
I will never be their martyr
For this my heart beats ever harder
I will never be their fucking martyr oh
Whoever said that this was set in stone
Set in stone
A life controlled you can never call your own
Superiority is what they claim
The truth is every heart beats the same
Our peace our freedom lay in equality
A rose by any other name
Our hearts beat the same
Our peace our freedom lay in equality
A rose by any other name
Our hearts beat the same
A rose by any other name
Our hearts beat the same.
