martyr of the free word

epica parçalarından biridir. pek de fazla sevmediğim şarkının, sözleri şöyledir.

Speaking interpretation
A conversation can take a sudden turn
And reaching the point of violence
Because your silence left you without a hand to hold

Your past will lead you on to make...

Making a final judgement
Based on your bias will never bring you forward
Terror should never guide you
For even the fearful can take a beating in the end

Suspicion gets you nowhere

Those who denounce a way of life
Will stand alone
Left to atone their social blunders
If you gun down the messenger
You guarantee that he will be made
Into a saint
A martyr of the free word

I will say
I will say what I think
I will do
I will do what I say
When liberty seems out of reach
We'll fight for our freedom of speech

Requiem aeternam dona eis,
Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis

Missing a simple context
A mental weakness can throw you out of balance
Listen, respect each other
Then you'll discover
It wasn't [...]
It's not too late for mercy

Those who denounce a way of life
Will stand alone
Left to atone their social blunders
If you gun down the messenger
You guarantee that he will be made
Into a saint
A martyr of the free word

I will say
I will say what I think
I will do
I will do what I say
When liberty seems out of reach
We'll fight for our freedom of speech

nightwish tarzını andırmakla kalmayıp bariz o tarzı icra eden nadide epica şarkısı. simone simons un eşsiz sesi bu şarkıda, saçı kurdaleli, pembe yanaklı, pijamasını giymiş ve yatmak üzere olup aile efradının elini öpen iyi aile kızı gibi olmasına rağmen şarkının oldukça sert ve hareketli olması insanın şarkıya garip bir şekilde bağlanmasına neden olmakta. gruba yeni katılan gitaristin hakkını bu ekrandan kendisine iade ediyoruz.
