Its Better to Light a Candle than to Curse the Dark...

They say its better to like a candle than to curse the dark.
In the eyes of the youth there are question marks.

Like freedom, freedom for the mind and soul,
we don't see them, see them for their worth at all.

That's why we lead 'em, lead 'em to these wars
and what it is we feed 'em, feed 'em our impurities.

And who it is we treat 'em, treat 'em like the enemy.
Humanity will need 'em, need 'em like the blood we spill.

We're freedom, freedom for the hearts we fill, we mislead 'em.
They hunger for the love we give but we cheat 'em.

The guys beat him and all he wants is his freedom.
So they defeat him, whatever spirit he's got beat him.

And they teach him the rest of the world don't need him
and he believes in the disease that he's heathen.


Put up your fists if all you want is freedom.
