Badge of Honour
You know my name
You know my name, I heard you calling me
Out again
I know your game
I know your game, the etiquette I break
The rules of play
We are the same
We are the same, though you could never tell
Through all the walls you're making
Free to hate you
Free to berate you
This conscience won't be controlled
What if I wonder?
What if I ponder?
What if we wonder?
Would we still feel these chains constrain?
All I know
Is all I've ever shown
And I won't concede
The need to be free
It's a dead man's walk
And though dead men cannot talk
We won't feel your shame
We won't play your game
Everything in one hand
Can be broken by the other
And every blow that you land
Will be worn as a badge of honour
Free to hate you
Free to berate you
This conscience won't be controlled
What if I wonder?
What if I ponder?
What if we wonder?
We'll light this fire you can't control
After all, this fire you can't control
This fire you can't control
