"Cry Me Freedom"
"Cry Me Freedom" Beautiful faces wrecked with pain.... The pain of being stripped of the pride that carries the head high.....

The same eyes to witness evil lurking behind sheets and fire r
Rise!
Rise like the Phoenix from the burning flames! Rise like the mountain tops reaching for the sky! Though a few may wish in envy for your fail, the voices of many scream you prevail!

I`m stuck in here
I`m stuck in here! I cannot move or think… My feet won`t walk… I can see but it`s only me.   I can`t get out! It`s dark and cold and I can`t feel words… Pain crawls around inside… There’s nowhere to hide!   I`m trapped in here! Can anyone see what I see? Or is it just me? Everything is heavy and moving slow--can I go?   I`m chained and I can`t move
