Freedom Lyrics


Freedom rings louder now
Listen up, hear the sound
Of screaming as the shots ring out
That's what freedom sounds like nowBeating drums, fathers' sons
Teach 'em well till kingdom come
Steal the daylight from the sun
That's what freedom has becomeStand over the shadow of a man
Staring down his lifetime with bloodstained hands
What had you planned to say?Underground, out to sea
Bodies come to rest in peace
Fighting for the right for more
That's what freedom has in storeAsphalt burns, un-soled feet
Vacant eyes in defeat
Lost the thread on every dream
That's what freedom's come to meanStand behind the handle of a gun
Staring down the future daring time to run
Like time could run awayFreedom's glowing sadly now
Listen up, look around

Candles burn in memory
Freedom is a fading dream

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Their songs disguise the youth of the members of the band. Befittingly, so do the old guitars they play and old clothing they wear. But to be sure, The Milk Carton Kids have something new to present: harmonies & minimalist instrumentation which are a clear reference to times passed, but with an eye intently on the future; a perspective on coming-of-age in the eye of a present-day storm; and the chronicling of an American struggle for simplicity, at least musically.
