The Slave
The Tree Lyrics

The choir of the voiceless screams will rise
Those who have been silenced for too long will finally raise their voices in protest

Echo through the valley of dreams where it will strive
Their message will spread and gain momentum, reaching even those who have been living in blissful ignorance

So listen up, we have the right to know
People demand answers and transparency from those in power, as it is their right to be informed

Your lies, we can see right through you
The people are no longer blind to the truth, they can see through the lies and deception of the ruling class

The bricks in the building of society will fall
Without a strong foundation of justice and equality, society will crumble and fall apart

With only chaos supporting the walls
When the pillars of society are built on the shaky ground of injustice, the structure will inevitably collapse into chaos and disorder

I'm not the one growing somber
Despite the bleak outlook, the singer remains resilient and determined

We won't walk in the blind any longer
They will no longer stay ignorant and apathetic, and instead will take action to create change

I'll never follow quietly for as long as I breathe
The artist will continue to speak out and fight for what is right, no matter the consequences

I have the courage to speak
The artist is brave enough to voice their opinions and stand up for what they believe in

A shadow has settled in the sky
Something ominous and foreboding looms over the world

Rain of the finest particle
A metaphor for the gradual but destructive effect of pollution and environmental damage

Engines, noises and machines of destruction
The constant build-up of destructive industries and technology

Building up towards a shockwave of eruptions
The escalating damage being wrought on the natural world will eventually culminate in a catastrophic event

Eyes shut to enjoy visions of life
People choose to ignore the truth in order to maintain a comfortable and complacent lifestyle

Gone is the future ahead
The consequences of humanity's actions will destroy any hope for a better future

If we don't stop to think
Without reflection and action, we will continue to cause irreparable damage to our world

Your life, the friction to their machinery
The ruling class sees the people's lives and rights as mere obstacles that get in the way of their goals

Is this the land of the free
The hypocrisy of a society that claims to value freedom, while denying basic freedoms to its citizens

One can only hope to dream
The people's hopes and dreams for a fair and just society may never be realized

The hypocritic pacifist, where are you at
The supposed peacemakers and advocates for justice are nowhere to be found when their actions are needed

Mirrors never lie, are you not a fucking slave
A call to look at oneself in the mirror and recognize how we may be complicit in our own oppression

Is this your land of the free
Reiterating the earlier question, pointing out the false promises of a system that enslaves its people

Tyrant vs tyrant supremacy
The powerful fight amongst themselves for control, indifferent to the harm they cause to those beneath them

Iron fist of greedy fear
The powerful wield their authority with force and intimidation, motivated by selfishness and greed

Open up your eyes it's crystal clear
The truth of the situation is glaringly obvious, and cannot be ignored

When we're all slaves to the economy
The engine of capitalism benefits only the few, while most people are trapped in a system that benefits the rich and powerful

Something that will never be
The idea of true freedom and equality is just a distant dream, a far-off ideal that will never be realized

You will never ever be free
A harsh reminder that our current system will always be oppressive, and true freedom can only be achieved through radical change

Free your self
An urging to take personal responsibility and fight for one's own liberation

Slaves
A final, emphatic statement on the current state of society

Get in line, we will march for control
A call for solidarity and direct action to take control of our own future

Get in line, this future won't uphold
A bleak but truthful statement that the current trajectory of society will only lead to further oppression and destruction
