Lyrics
Let Me Breathe
© 2014 TMC
When you've stolen all the oxygen
And you've hoarded all the wealth
When you've built your fancy towers
And you've squandered our good health
When you've testified in irony
Turned your back on who we are
I'll be gasping for the truth
Till the moon don't seem so far
(Chorus)
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
And I'll be free
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
And then you'll see
When you suffocate the innocent
And abolish brotherhood
Turn the screws on Mother Nature
Worship evil over good
Praise the concept of intolerance
Embrace past times over now
Like a fish swims out of water
I will inhale somehow
(Chorus)
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
And I'll be free
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
And then you'll see
Break
Bridge:
I will not die
I will survive
We will not die
We will survive
(Chorus)
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
And I'll be free
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
And then you'll see
