Lyrics
No Matter The Cost
(Lyrics-D. Echnoz, M. Novak Music: D. Echnoz)
Pre-Verse:
Chaos, disruption, at a rally for peace
Bedlam and bloodshed will it ever cease
Verse 1:
Micah’s millions cheering that their savior has returned
He tells the crowd of the lessons that he has learned
He’s been harassed without cause
He’s been questioned and detained
His followers have been bloodied
And he still urges restraint
His emails are read they’ve tapped his phones
He’s followed by agents everywhere he goes
His home has been raided
But nothings ever found
They’re ruthless and relentless
They burned his house to the ground
Chorus:
No matter the cost
No matter the loss
You’ve got to speak out
Speak out and do what’s right
No matter the cost
No matter the loss
You gotta speak out no matter the cost
Pre-Verse:
Handcuffed and arrested and he’s charged with treason
No blind justice no truth or reason
He arrives in chains, to cheers and jeers
He says to the judge, “whose truth will you hear?”
I’ve been beaten and harassed, I’ve been jailed without cause
All I’ve done is tell the truth
I haven’t broken any laws?
At the end of the trial the prosecution’s failed
He’s innocent, Will the lies be curtailed
There’s fighting in the streets, and the riots never end
At the end of the day it’s still us against them”
Chorus:
No matter the loss
You gotta speak out
