[Verse 1]
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?

[Hook 1]
And 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?

[Verse 1]
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?

[Hook 2]
And bullets lance the bravest lungs
Will I fold my hands or hold my tongue?
Or let the flames lick at my feet?
Or breathe in fire and know I'm free?
[Outro]
Flames will rise and devour me
Oh, to breathe in fire and know I'm free
Know I'm free!
