Sovereignty of Soul

I woke up in a sweat
My mind was racing
With so many things that I want to forget
There's a time and place when
The misgivings of a few start to make sense
And now I'm ready to break with
The time and the heartbreak that I've spent
To build a kingdom for thieves
Keeping the poor on their knees
Holding up a patriarchal debt

Not one more breath
Belongs to another
I can't wait for a later day
To drop out of all the games you play

So sick of all the lies
And holding my tongue when I face them
Letting go of any need to choose a side
Trusting the way that the truth can
Illuminate a path through the darkest night
And now I'm ready to break with
The feeling that I have to fight
To build a kingdom for thieves
Keeping the poor on their knees
Holding up the myth of wrong and right

Not one more breath
Belongs to another (Sovereignty of soul)
I can't wait for a later day
To drop out of all the games you play

Free minds
To discover (Sovereignty of soul)
All the color will fade away
Black and white replaced with gray

I've said enough
I've said enough

Not one more breath
Belongs to another (Sovereignty of soul)
I can't wait for a later day
To drop out of all the games you play

Free minds
To discover (Sovereignty of soul)
All the color will fade away
Black and white replaced with gray
