Tell me, are you free, tell me, are you free? In word or thought or deed Tell me, are you free? While the gallows stand Bullets lance the bravest lungs We fold our hands and hold our tongues Tell me, are you free? When the fear falls on you Tell me, are you free? When the fear falls on you Tell me, are you free, tell me, are you free? In word or thought or deed Tell me, are you free? While the gallows stand Bullets lance the bravest lungs Will I fold my hands or hold my tongue? Or let the flames lick at my feet And breathe in fire and know I'm free Flames will rise and Devour me To breathe in fire And know I'm free
