If I Die, Hang Me High - As I Rise

With the rope around my neck

I’ll stand alone with my pride

Where are you now?

Where are those noble hearts?

Your voice

Ripples through my spine

My heart keeps your secrets

I hope yours keep mine

It has been sung so many times

«We only know what we’ve been told»

And still we follow blinded

Guided by lies

Because mediocrity

Is so comforting

Why did you put

That wild heart to sleep?

What have you become?

A weak passerby to everyone

Loyal to the hand that strangles you

What have you become?

My knee will only touch the ground for the bond of love

Not for fear or surrender like yours

Not for fear or surrender like yours

What have you become?

Yearning for a life

You are too idle to create

Loyal to the mouth that bites you

What have you become?
