eternal spirit of the chainless mind

what we believe in silence should be said
not to speak out is a denial too great
to be borne for each day the fresh slate
must be inscribed or else we're too soon dead
freedom requires more space than the head
its truth demands that we deny all fate
our hope insists that we break down the gate
before all honour and decency are sped
the voice that speaks is the one that's heard
the silent are ignored for all their pride
it's courage that brings power upon the earth
and all we need is one unvarnished word
to be uttered openly never should we hide
what we expect to bring us to new birth
