This song is written in the voice of a martyr who knows they will be executed and yet, instead of expressing fear, shows supreme confidence in the face of death. The martyr asks their executioners and audience if they know if they’re free or if they’re still bound by their fear of others or of death...
Firebreather Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tell me, are you free?
Tell me, are you free
In word or thought or deed?
Tell me, are you free
While the gallows stand?
[Hook 1]
And bullets lance the bravest lungs
We fold our hands and hold our tongues
Tell me, are you free
When the fear falls on you?
Tell me, are you free
When the fear falls on you?
[Verse 1]
Tell me, are you free?
Tell me, are you free
In word or thought or deed?
Tell me, are you free
While the gallows stand?
[Hook 2]
And bullets lance the bravest lungs
Will I fold my hands or hold my tongue?
Or let the flames lick at my feet?
Or breathe in fire and know I'm free?
[Outro]
Flames will rise and devour me
Oh, to breathe in fire and know I'm free
Know I'm free!
