Matt Heafy - Declaration lyrics

[Verse 1] "Freedom" is all I have to say in defense Of what the world's becoming A nation hell-bent on choosing what's right And how we should all live our lives [Refrain] f** their ways; it is time to break free f** their hate; acceptance is what we need [Verse 2] Equality for every race, s**, s**uality And every choice to live our lives And to you, bigot, cretin, ignoramus Mind your own goddamn f**ing business [Refrain] f** their ways; it is time to break free f** their hate; acceptance is what we need [Pre-Chorus] Holding onto what makes us whole Never letting their poison take control [Chorus] Freezing the air (that stands between all of us) Closing the eyes (bear witness to me) Feeling the fear (that stands between all of us) Closing the eyes (bear witness to me) [Guitar Solo] [Breakdown] I'll be right here Falling away Fighting on principle I'll die one thousand times Before I'll ever be them Fighting on principle I'll die one thousand times Before I'll ever be them [Verse 3] Burn the scriptures Bury the governing Free yourself Break the structures Declare freedom Burn the scriptures Bury the governing Free yourself Break the structures Declare freedom Burn the scriptures Bury the governing Free yourself Break the structures Declare freedom Burn the scriptures Bury the governing Free yourself Break the structures Declare freedom BURN [Verse 4] "Freedom" is all I have to say in defense Of what the world's becoming A nation hell-bent on choosing what's right And how we should all live our lives [Refrain] f** their ways; it is time to break free f** their hate; acceptance is what we need [Pre-Chorus] Holding onto what makes us whole Never letting their poison take control [Chorus] Freezing the air (that stands between all of us) Closing the eyes (bear witness to me) Feeling the fear (that stands between all of us) Closing the eyes (bear witness to me) Freezing the air (that stands between all of us) Closing the eyes (bear witness to me) Feeling the fear (that stands between all of us) Closing the eyes (bear witness to me)
