Lyrics
Firebreather
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tell me are you free?
Tell me are you free?
In word or thought or deed
Tell me are you free?
While the gallows stand, and bullets lance the bravest lungs?
We fold our hands and hold our tongues.
Tell me, are you free, when the fear falls on you?
Tell me, are you free, when the fear falls on you?
Tell me are you free?
Tell me are you free?
In word or thought or deed
Tell me are you free?
While the gallows stand, and bullets lance the bravest lungs?
Will I fold my hands or hold my tongue?
Or let the flames lick at my feet,
and breathe in fire and know I'm free.
The flames will rise and devour me.
Oh, to breathe in fire, and know I'm free.
