No Master

INTRO — LOW / DISTORTED
They can build the walls…
They can write the rules…
But they can't climb inside my mind.

VERSE 1
I hear the footsteps marching through the wires,
Screens glowing red like a city on fire.
Every little freedom got a number and a name,
Every voice gets measured, every face gets framed.
They say, "Fall in line," I say, "Define your line,"
You can regulate the body, can't confiscate the mind.
Question every order, question every claim,
Power gets dangerous when nobody says its name.

I ain't looking for a throne, I ain't asking for a crown,
I'm just trying to keep my conscience when the pressure's coming down.
You can fill the airwaves, you can flood me with fear,
But a thought that's truly mine is something you can't commandeer.

HOOK — EXPLOSIVE
NO MASTER!
NO CHAINS!
I won't surrender what's inside my brain!
NO MASTER!
NO FEAR!
Keep your hands off what I hold dear!
You can build your towers, you can tighten every rule,
But freedom ain't a gift that belongs to someone else's school.
NO MASTER!
NO THRONE!
A human being ain't property to own!

VERSE 2 — RAPID FIRE
Red lights flashing, cameras in the rain,
Everybody watching while they're calling it "safe."
Paperwork, passwords, permissions, restrictions,
Every generation inherits new conditions.
Some say it's protection, some say it's control,
Some see a necessary order, some see power taking hold.
Different people, different answers, different views,
But the right to question power shouldn't disappear from you.

I don't need to hate you just because we disagree,
I don't need a perfect leader telling me what to believe.
Give me facts, give me evidence, let the argument be heard,
Let the strongest case survive without suppressing every word.

BRIDGE — DARK / SLOW
If freedom means nothing
when everybody thinks the same…
Then silence isn't peace—
it's just another name.

FINAL VERSE
So I'll keep my eyes open, keep my questions alive,
Keep searching for the truth instead of choosing a side.
Power changes hands, governments rise and fall,
But human dignity should matter through it all.
No blind obedience, no hatred in my chest,
Just the stubborn little voice saying, "Think for yourself."
If the future belongs to anybody, let it belong to the free—
Not because somebody promised it,
but because people still believe.

FINAL HOOK
NO MASTER!
NO CHAINS!
I won't surrender what's inside my brain!
NO MASTER!
NO FEAR!
Keep your hands off what I hold dear!
You can build your towers, you can tighten every rule,
But conscience isn't something that authority gets to own.
NO MASTER!
NO THRONE!
I am a person—
NOT A NUMBER.

OUTRO — WHISPER
Question.
Think.
Speak.
Listen.
Repeat.
Freedom starts where obedience ends.
