The Word the Blade
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the Liberation Journey in 'The Word the Blade'
Lyrics
Have you walked the path that leads to freedom?
Asking if the listener has experienced the path leading to freedom.
It's not a straight road sown by blossoms
Describing the path to freedom as challenging, not adorned with ease.
Can you hear the words from the poets?
Inquiring if the listener can hear the wisdom expressed by poets.
Can you see the blood that pave the road?
Prompting the listener to recognize the sacrifices (blood) made for the path to freedom.
The word, the blade
Introducing the juxtaposition of "the word" and "the blade," suggesting the power of language and action.
Something is gonna break the chain
Indicating that a force will break the chain of oppression.
And we will see, we'll all be free
Expressing the hope for collective freedom and understanding.
If you believe it's not inside ourselves
Suggesting that the belief in freedom is internal and not external.
I think a question you may ask
Proposing a question for introspection about the origin of beliefs.
Are they the wishes of holding the power
Raising a question about whether those in power have altruistic motives.
That carry a man to enslave a man?
Questioning if the pursuit of power leads to the subjugation of others.
The word, the blade
Reiterating the juxtaposition of "the word" and "the blade" and their impact on breaking chains.
Something is gonna break the chain
Affirming the inevitability of a force breaking the chain of oppression.
And we will see, we'll all be free
Expressing confidence that collective freedom will be achieved.
The word, the blade
Repeating the theme of "the word" and "the blade" breaking the chain of oppression.
Something is gonna break the chain
Reiterating the belief in the inevitable liberation from chains.
And we will see, we'll all be free
Expressing the conviction that, ultimately, everyone will experience freedom.
