I was born into a system constructed for failureIt's a sinking ship manned by drunken sailorsAn escape artist behind the bars of a jailerAn asthmatic attack and they withhold the inhalerIf the shoe doesn't fit what good is a tailorIn the midst of a crisis please cancel the galaWithout a symphony there's no need for a preludeTo foreshadow what's to come.See the secret committees, commence with their meetingsTo make red tape in response to simple questionsQuestions threaten the perception of the beneficial systemsA pyramid scheme with it's cogs and it's pistonsMechanization of men, making more and moreLive in a miserable existenceHow can so few, claim so many victimsAnd this begs the questionMy rest is a weapon against the oppressionOf mans obsession to control thingsLook at the long line of make believe kingsThe lord of the flies want's you to kiss his ringFollow new rules with invisible stringsAnd become a puppet in the diabolical schemeHow do good men become part of the regimeThey don't believe in resistanceHold fast like an anchor in the stormWe will not be movedLesson number one, overcomeEvery fear of regret and confusionIt's all illusion, delusionSent to disconnect the holy fusionOf spirit and the fleshEvery mortal breath, is meant to bring forth fireBut only when the fear of death, gets consumedOn the funeral pierSo let the flames rise higherLet every man be considered a liarIf he doubts the goodness and faithfulness of GodItching ears will compulsively nod in approvalWhen unbelief is taught in all our temples and schoolsBut God can restrain the madness of a foolHe can bring His truth through the mouth of a muleYou can move an mountain without any toolsIt just takes the faith of a little seedTo make a way through what might seem to beImpossibility,And the ability will match the occasionThe outcome will defy explanationThe liberation will not be televisedWhen it arrives like lightning in the skiesHold fast like an anchor in the stormFor your love, we will rise and overcomeThrough the fireHold fast my people and singThrough peace and through sufferingAll for the joy that it brings, to be freeIt's gonna cost us everythingTo follow one Lord and KingTrue love endures everythingTo be freeHold fast, like an anchor in the stormWe will not be moved
