Amnesty (Set them Free)
Last time she saw him
She never said goodbye
He was beaten cuffed and chained
Given no reason why
With his picture in her pocket
She goes searching through the graves
With a head full of memories
And a heart full of pain
Her hands twist up in fists of rage
She searches on alone
Past soldiers from a cruel regime
Who's hearts are made of stone
When she cried out for justice
No one heard her screams
Mothers weep and life is cheap
And Freedoms just a dream
Set them free set them free
All we ask is set them free
Set them free from their torment
Give them back their dignity
Break the chains that bind them
All we ask is set them free
Set them free set them free
You walk through the world like your a big man
I guess that must be easy with a gun in your hand
Your a travelling circus
In the theatre of the damned
Caught up in the hatred
Thats poisoning your land
Their are voices down the corridor
That sound like screams of pain
Praying in a prison cell
To see blue skies again
Someone should let the world know
Will no one hear their cries
Does anybody care at all
If they live or die
Set them free set them free
All we ask is set them free
Does the pain go on forever
Does the heartache ever mend
Will the candle lit for freedom
Bring them hope in the end
It's time to sit and listen
The world should take a stand
We cant't go on forever
With our heads stuck in the sand
Set them free set them free
Give them back their dignity
Break the chains that bind them
ALL WE ASK IS SET THEM FREE
She never said goodbye
He was beaten cuffed and chained
Given no reason why
With his picture in her pocket
She goes searching through the graves
With a head full of memories
And a heart full of pain
Her hands twist up in fists of rage
She searches on alone
Past soldiers from a cruel regime
Who's hearts are made of stone
When she cried out for justice
No one heard her screams
Mothers weep and life is cheap
And Freedoms just a dream
Set them free set them free
All we ask is set them free
Set them free from their torment
Give them back their dignity
Break the chains that bind them
All we ask is set them free
Set them free set them free
You walk through the world like your a big man
I guess that must be easy with a gun in your hand
Your a travelling circus
In the theatre of the damned
Caught up in the hatred
Thats poisoning your land
Their are voices down the corridor
That sound like screams of pain
Praying in a prison cell
To see blue skies again
Someone should let the world know
Will no one hear their cries
Does anybody care at all
If they live or die
Set them free set them free
All we ask is set them free
Does the pain go on forever
Does the heartache ever mend
Will the candle lit for freedom
Bring them hope in the end
It's time to sit and listen
The world should take a stand
We cant't go on forever
With our heads stuck in the sand
Set them free set them free
Give them back their dignity
Break the chains that bind them
ALL WE ASK IS SET THEM FREE
