We're Standing By A River

In A Place Where Nothing Moves

And The White Light In The Sky

Is Meaningless And Cruel

And We Turn Our Face Away

From A Cold And Violent Wind

And We Bow Our Heads Down

And We Pray To The Sound

Of Freedom

With A Mirror In My Hand

And My Eyes Burned In The Fire

Drunk On Self Deception

And Punished By Desire

Leaping Directly Into A Bright White Sea

I'll Keep Myself Breathing

And I'll Swallow The Sound

Of Freedom

Nobody Else Can See You

Nobody Knows You Feel

Go Further Inside You

Where Nothing Else Is Real

Now Throw Yourself Into A Pool

Of Silence You Can See

And Hold The Mirror Before Your Eyes

And Light The White Light, It's The Sound Of Freedom

Now Time Is Just A Picture That

Moves Before Your Eyes

And Every Lie That I Believe

Is Falsely Compromised

And This Is Not A Sound

And We Are Not Alive

Someone Else Was Here Before

In Someone Else's Mind

And The Ground We Walk Is Sacred

And Every Object Lives

And Every Word We Speak

Will Punish Or Forgive

And The Light Inside Your Body

Will Shine Through History

Set Fire To Every Prison

Set Every Dead Man Free

And The Air We're Breathing Now

We Breathed A Million Times

And The Darkest Dreams We Dreamed

Were Dreamed By Other Minds

So Take Us To The Water

Take us to the sound

And Wash My Soul Away

Where It Can Never Be Found...

And The White Light That Surrounds Us

Is The Sound Of Freedom Pounding

And The Ground That Opens Up

Spits The Fire From Freedom's Mouth

And The Concrete, Glass And Steel

Break With A Freedom You Can Feel And

The Wind That Blows Through Heaven

It Screams The Sound Of Freedom

And The Violence That Destroys

Is The Birth Of Freedom Singing

And The Lovers In The Field

Make The Sound Of Freedom Bleeding

And The Pain That Eats My Mind

Is The Shout Of Freedom's Life

And The Sea That Splits In Two

Is The Cut Of Freedom's Knife

And The Fire That Burns This City

Is The White Light In Freedom's Eye

And The White Light Is The Sound

Of Freedom
