You might take my life But you can't take my soul You can't take my soul You might take my freedom But you can't take my soul You can't take my soul
Whether it's a cancer patient or assassination Or I fought for emancipation My intentions were pure you can't debate 'em But no, never ever shook hands with Satan My fans are amazing, I thank and praise 'em When I die, don't cry, just congratulations A million more feet will stamp the pavement with plans of changes, no exaggeration We will not be ignored You will be rocked with the force of the bombs you dropped in those wars I will not be bought And I consciencely thought it was wrong, so I constantly fought Peace is something I would really adore But we are at war so give me a sword I'm merely a corpse, but still be assured When you kill me there will be a million more
Born alone and die alone Those words ringin' inside my dome Best friends are the pen and the microphone Roamin' until I find my way home Turn my body cold but my soul is mine Take a deep breath and I close my eyes I will go when I'm supposed to die But in death I will multiply
My backs against the wall But you can't kill us all Even if you take my life Still we will survive We shall overcome And the tables will turn Today I die as one but as millions I'll return But as millions I'll return But as millions I'll return
In these critical times don't be really surprised If I get victimised by Gideon's spies I sympathise with that Brazilian guy On the tube, but we're used to the hideous lie "Civilians die, millions cry Our civilians die", the militants write How silly am I to be figuring why? The injustice is clear and I feel it inside Hear me in Gaza, here me in Glasgow Hear me in Baghdad, hear me in Plasto Clearly they hear me from here to Chicago Think things are all good but really they aren't though Peace is something I would really adore But we are at war so give me a sword I'm merely a corpse, but still be assured When you kill me there will be a million more

My people are bleedin' So I'm readin' and seekin' the deepest of meanin's My demons are breedin' In my sleep I can feel it, I need to defeat 'em My temperature's risin' If tempted I'll rise with the temper of Tyson Resent all the violence Cause of people with tension It tends to divide them The pen that I write with Is better than a sword when I strike with the strength of a Titan My friends are still fighting against all the tyrants So then why would it end when I die then? Peace is something I would really adore But we are at war my pen's killing your sword I'm merely a corpse, but still be assured When you kill me there will be a million more
