Freedom Isn't Easy

Freedom isn't easy


In the dusty streets, where resistance meets

The immovable obstacle

There's a warning written, on a clay wall

No one reads it anymore


In a dry land covered in sand

There's a shrouded tent with no floor

Eyes are gleaming, fanatic's screaming

What are our defences for


Wise men look to the skies and say

All good men should begin to pray

Kings and consorts plan their escape

Leaving the ruins of the land they made

High in the blue an eagle flies

No one disturbs the empty sky


Freedom isn't easy


Freedom isn't easy

No, I said, freedom isn't easy

You could try

Let them try

Freedom isn't easy

Freedom isn't easy
