lyrics

Don't tell me that you're just another soldier
Don't tell me that you're just following orders
Why would you put a cage around a bird
To suppress the song that you never heard?

Don't forget about the burning fire
That lights the way of every human being
You too my friend, must with the wind bend
When you come across the pits inside the cherries

Don't tell me that it just doesn't matter
Save me from your words that doubt and flatter
Why would you tie a rope around your neck?
To hang yourself here is what you seem to expect

Don't forget about the intellectual wheels
That turn furious day and night
You too my friend, must with the wind bend
When you come across the blossoms and the blight

Don't tell me that you just don't care
Or that you don't have a moment to spare
Why get caught up in the pyramid scheme?
Give me my hammer, gonna build up my dreams

Don't forget about the burning fire
That lights the way of every human being
You too my friend, must with the wind bend
You can't separate yourself from what you're seeing
You can't separate yourself from what you're seeing
You can't separate yourself from what you're seeing
