once you were free and you stretched out your wings to the sky
  sky was the limit, cap on your creativity
  team against team could we even the score
  our hearts kept the rhythm, that forbidden beat
  your talons now grip like steel to the weight they chained you to
  two in the morning, you can't hear the rumbling train
  trained not to think or question anything
  the chains that had bound you are now obsolete
    please open your eyes,
  everything they told you was a lie,
  think for yourself won't you even try to look past all of those lies
  think for yourself
    for generations the answer has always been no
  no one remembers and nobody cares to ask
  asking a question is deemed criminal and slowly the silence grows
  on the growing list of the mindless, by your name a check
  checkmate the situation if we all toe the line
  line up and never open up your eyes
  and don't even think about raising your voice
    leave your mind without thought (they fill it)
  identity erased
  place refuse in your sight (you swill it)
  yeah it seems they got you bound (bound tight)
  yeah it seems they got you beat
  the chains that held you down (you down)
  they now hang obsolete
