Freedom or Fire Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How can you accept social suppression
This weak state of mind in our time
I demand release from hypocrisy
I'd rather die than be held down, forced down

[Pre-Chorus]
Freedom or fire
Freedom or fire
Freedom or fire
Freedom or fire

[Verse 2]
I'm on the threshold of revolution
I'd rather burn than be held down, forced down

[Pre-Chorus]
Freedom or fire
Freedom or fire
Freedom or fire
Freedom or fire

[Chorus]
Unrestrained determination
Set ablaze for liberation

Huh!

[Bridge]
Locked in chains of this sovereignty
Let me be 'cause I long to be
Free!
Free!
Free!

Locked in chains of this sovereignty
Let me be 'cause I long to be
Free!
Free!
Free!

[Chorus]
Unrestrained determination
Set ablaze for liberation
Set ablaze
Set ablaze
Set ablaze
Set ablaze

[Outro]
Freedom or fire
Freedom or fire
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom or fire

Genius Annotation

“Freedom or Fire” is the second track of scene II in Fear Factory’s “Obsolete.”

SECURITRON’s enforcers are moving in on the crowd of protestors. The Harsh Man makes a decision in face of them. He grabs a gasoline can and douses himself. Holding a single match in his hands, he makes his final declaration; The lyrics are the final words of the Harsh Man as he conducts his self-immolation. Following this, the man’s “final words become screams of laughter.”
