From the bottom of the heap 
 Shouts an angry voice that says "no, i will not remain asleep" 
 I have seen it with my eyes 
 Seen that all religion lives by a steady trade in lies 
    They try to hold us back with reins of holy smoke 
 But i am here to say we will not bear the yoke   
 Once the fact is clearly seen 
 There is no turning back for fairytales or bloody dreams 
 If we dare not speak our minds 
 The inquisition has a test for each of us in time   
 Do you trust a creed that claims to set you free 
 By spending half a lifetime begging on your knees?   
 Cry freedom! we have nothing but this day... 
 Cry freedom we have nothing but our chains - to lose!   
 In a single cup of earth 
 Sings the mystery of the all expanding universe 
 Trust that brain behind your eyes 
 To carve a space for us within the universal mind   
 And if it's up to us to bring some balance back 
 Let it not be said it's courage that we lack   
 Cry freedom! we have nothing but this day... 
 Cry freedom we have nothing but our chains - to lose!
