We're standing by a river in a place where nothing movesAnd the white light in the sky is meaningless and cruelAnd we turn our face away from a cold and violent windAnd we bow our heads downAnd we pray to the sound of freedom
With a mirror in my mind and my eyes burned in the fireDrunk on self-deception and punished by desireLeaping directly into a bright white seaI'll keep myself breathingAnd I'll swallow the sound of freedom
Nobody else can see you, nobody knows you feelGo further back inside you, where nothing else is realNow, throw yourself into a pool of silence you can seeAnd hold the mirror before your eyesAnd light the white lightIt's the sound of freedom
Now, time is just a picture that moves before your eyesAnd every lie that I believe is falsely compromisedAnd this is not a sound, and we are not aliveAnd someone else was here before, in someone else's mind
And the ground we walk is sacred, and every object livesAnd every word we speak will punish or forgiveAnd the light inside your body will shine through historySet fire to every prison, set every dead man free
And the air we're breathing now, we breathed a million timesThe darkest dreams we dreamed were dreamed by other mindsSo take us to the water, and take us to the soundAnd wash my soul away where it can never be found
And the white light that surrounds usIs the sound of freedom poundingAnd the ground that opens upIt spits the fire from freedom's mouth
And the concrete, glass and steelBreak with a freedom you can feelAnd the wind that blows through HeavenYeah, it screams the sound of freedom
And the violence that destroysIs the birth of freedom singingAnd the lovers in the fieldThey make the sound of freedom bleeding
And the pain that eats my mindIs the shout of freedom's lifeAnd the fire that burns this cityIs the white light in freedom's eyeAnd the white light is the soundYet it is the sound
Of freedom
