A song about freedom, "necessity", and human nature told through reference of the civil war.
lyrics
Don't you ever underestimate
the will of man when temped by the fruits of hate
You'll see because
I swear this will be the first and last time
I will burn you down for what you've done, my brother
Don't you ever underestimate
the will of man when temped by the fruits of hate
'Cause here it comes
This town will fall to its knees at feet of fire
I will burn it down for where it stands
Only the sea can stop my hands
Of iron falling down for you, my darling girl
From ashes rise the memory of our lies
A broken man in fields before sunrise
With visions a love so warm and true
Of a lady that has love for me and you
I will get you back someday
My lady oh sweet liberty
They will change the tide for me
In marching on to meet the sea
Don't you ever underestimate
the will of man when temped by the fruits of hate
Tell me how she is lost
You ignore all her needs
When I give her a life thats free from pondering necessity
If she can also help me then so let it be...
She never loved you...
(She didn't have to)
We really need her...
(I'm gonna set her free)
You are my brother...
(No one can smother)
Please stop the burning...
(The fire except the sea)
