300 Years of Silence

300 years of silence
I'm ready to break and ready to make
300 years of loving instead

Centuries ago, had a vision of a place
Where love and kindness ruled above all
Fighting for the weak, helping everyone
Foolishly let down by them all

Fought for a higher cause, put my family through hell
Braver than the armies of Rome
Took a while to figure out what fate had in store
Made a vow never to speak out again

300 years of silence,
I'm ready to break and ready to make
300 years of loving instead

Centuries ago, longed for peace to prevail
In homes and hearts made only of stone
Listened to no one, knew I had to make a change
Knew my penance but I felt no remorse

When publicly disgraced being dragged by a horse
Held my head up high and my spirit strong
Last moment as the pyre had started to enfold
Caved into myself, slowly dissolved

It's been a long, long road
I lost myself, I had lost my soul
But now I'm ready for my voice to be heard
My message to be known

I'm here
To speak out, shout out, scream out loud
No fear
No hiding, no sacrificing me
I'm free
To lend a helping hand, lead into a better today

300 years of silence
I'm ready to break and ready to make
300 years of loving instead

300 years of silence
I'm ready to break and ready to make
300 years of loving instead, instead, instead

I'm here
To speak out, shout out, scream out loud
No fear
No hiding, no sacrificing me
I'm free
To lend a helping hand, lead into a better today

300 years of silence
I'm ready to break and ready to make
300 years of loving instead
Yeah, yeah, yeah

300 years of silence
I'm ready to break and ready to make
300 years of loving instead

I'm free!
