I long for liberty

But I end up in chains

Can’t see the end

Half of my life is search

Another half is runaway

You know the answer

Run away, run away, run away, run away

The ministry of secrets

You wanna keep the key

You wanna hold me down

The ministry of secrets

I’m slave to what I’ve been through

I gotta change my mind

I have to break away and cure all of my scars

You opened this Pandora’s box

Who entitled you to make the rules

I was made to believe that all I feel is true

And what I felt was all I knew

The ministry of secrets

You wanna keep the key

You wanna hold me down

The ministry of secrets

I’m slave to what I’ve been through

I gotta change my mind

I have to break away and cure all of my scars
