Not Even to Die

Song Lyrics

Running through the valley and the shadow of Freedom.

The Liberty rains down, the challenge is weakened.

I found that even as my words are spoken,

The token of life will forever be broken.



A new challenge dawned while you fell from a cliff,

And even though I caught you from your mental trip,

You turn on my right, the freedom of expression.

And it's funny how your money is the root of my oppression.



Welcome to America, land of the free.

Where I'm free to do what I'm told.

So while I'm stuck by myself, your image a lie,

You're free to choose me, and my memories.

I'm allowed to worship how you're smart and bold.

It's a wonder if I'm even allowed to die!



And you can't shut me up, this is my freedom of speech.

Oh wait, if I keep this up I'll be locked up for treason!

It's gotten to where we are all out looking and hunting,

For nothing but the outcasts.  Well here's my organs for punting!



Because why would you need to spare lung or a heart,

When the only ones who need a heart are ripping us apart?

And who here has the money now to be saved by the doctors?

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if most of them were imposters.



Welcome to America, land of the free.

Where I'm free to do what I'm told.

So while I'm stuck by myself, your image a lie,

You're free to choose me, and my memories.

I'm allowed to worship how you're smart and bold.

It's a wonder if I'm even allowed to die!



-Morbid Seraphim

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Hope no one finds this too offensive, but I won't be surprised if people did.  Just someone rubbed my personality wrong, and this was the only thing I could think of doing.

At first I thought this was one of those anti-Bush type things, but I guess I was wrong. Anyways I love the first two lines of the chorus. Also I apologize if I having been commenting on all your poems, but I figured you would probably get tired of reading, "I really liked your poem, keep up the good work." or something equivalent.
