Give Me Liberty (Audio)
Drums by @InfiniteDrumTracks On YT
All other parts including lyrics, composition and artwork were created by me.
Song No.8 from my debut album "Existential". This song is about the fear of total collapse of social cohesion and a never ending anarchy.
The track is going for the idea sonically; "What if shoegaze and heavy music came together".
The album is a concept album following my journey through existential thoughts and fears, eventually culminating in a return to faith in my real life and leading my next releases to be christian music. In short the making of this album was my journey back to faith.
This track is also available to stream on download on SoundCloud under the same artist and track name.
Verse 1:
Eye for an eye & tooth for a tooth
It's nature's way, what an excuse
It used to be but then we civilized
Got out the caves when we realised
There's a better way to carry on
Protect the next incoming spawn
So in the coming reality
We incepted societies
& now we live under the law
Safe inside these city walls
Chorus:
I could never guarantee
We won't descend into anarchy
It is one of my greatest fears
You could never trust your peers
Right next door not to murder you
Take what's yours and claim that too
Cause the only thing between you and me
Is some walls and a law printed on some trees
Verse 2:
Give me liberty or give me death
We've done alright but we're not done yet
Until I'm free to do as I please
Without hurting others we're not truly free
Looking ahead now what will you do
Stand like a man or crumble like a fool?
There's always time to take back our rights
But do you have the guts for a fight?
Chorus X3
