Lyrics

I was born into a system constructed for failure


It's a sinking ship manned by drunken sailors


An escape artist behind the bars of a jailer


An asthmatic attack and they withhold the inhaler


If the shoe doesn't fit what good is a tailor


In the midst of a crisis please cancel the gala


Without a symphony there's no need for a prelude


To foreshadow what's to come.


See the secret committees, commence with their meetings


To make red tape in response to simple questions


Questions threaten the perception of the beneficial systems


A pyramid scheme with it's cogs and it's pistons


Mechanization of men, making more and more


Live in a miserable existence


How can so few, claim so many victims


And this begs the question


My rest is a weapon against the oppression


Of mans obsession to control things


Look at the long line of make believe kings


The lord of the flies want's you to kiss his ring


Follow new rules with invisible strings


And become a puppet in the diabolical scheme


How do good men become part of the regime


They don't believe in resistance


Hold fast like an anchor in the storm


We will not be moved


Lesson number one, overcome


Every fear of regret and confusion


It's all illusion, delusion


Sent to disconnect the holy fusion


Of spirit and the flesh


Every mortal breath, is meant to bring forth fire


But only when the fear of death, gets consumed


On the funeral pier


So let the flames rise higher


Let every man be considered a liar


If he doubts the goodness and faithfulness of God


Itching ears will compulsively nod in approval


When unbelief is taught in all our temples and schools


But God can restrain the madness of a fool


He can bring His truth through the mouth of a mule


You can move an mountain without any tools


It just takes the faith of a little seed


To make a way through what might seem to be


Impossibility,


And the ability will match the occasion


The outcome will defy explanation


The liberation will not be televised


When it arrives like lightning in the skies


Hold fast like an anchor in the storm


For your love, we will rise and overcome


Through the fire


Hold fast my people and sing


Through peace and through suffering


All for the joy that it brings, to be free


It's gonna cost us everything


To follow one Lord and King


True love endures everything


To be free


Hold fast, like an anchor in the storm


We will not be moved
