The Closet
Nothing to Lose
Barbed Wire
I remember it was Monday, I was watching MTV
It was business as usual, although I like it
The newspaper was delivered to my home
I glanced through it quickly
I quickly saw the headlines, it wasn't much of anything
And just as I was about to put it away
I saw a advertisement
The image that stood before my eyes
I keep thinking about that
refr.:
I saw a candle caught in the barbed wire
A light that should no longer be light, discarded
Like a candle caught in barbed wire
A human being that should no longer be human, discarded
A man had published something about power and politics
It was felt that it was propaganda, inflammatory criticism
There was never a trial, the verdict was passed
A prison sentence for life, he was told
His strength comes from sunlight that he sees every morning
He fights for what he is worth and he prays for amnesty
