FREEDOM ZEN (TIBETAN MIX DEMO) 空禪

I'm arrested for a breach of the peace
I'm arrested for a breach of the peace
I'm imprisoned for the truth that I speak
Will be executed for the love that I seek

My friend's a teacher. Sylvie wears this black T-shirt
Bought from Reporters without Borders, recorders of marauders
It's five handcuffs joined above 2008
Pay online, and your shipment arrives in fourteen days
But when I'm placing an order on this free-speech website
It's taken over by the interface in Chinese Simplified
Propaganda's never simplified, can only be vandalized
I orchestrate lyrical drive-bys
Blacklisted writers ain't woke up from the abyss
How much of your justice was purchased by those in mists?
Sonic death threats received 'cause she says "Shame on the police"
Intelligence is openly silenced by violence on reprise
Rich folks and politicians perform intercourse on TV
Metaphors that tease me accept the passports of them landlords
Granted entry to my country self-willingly spelled backward
The benumbed wolf in the Arctic licks the blade that protrudes from the snow
Suicide show. Tongue cut, feast of blood, body picked up
By hunters who hide to maintain the status quo
Gunshots heard from the other side of the war zone
Thousands of kilos away but near like a ring tone
Freedom of speech becomes a figure of speech, shown
By the greed of a leech and a dog on a leash

I'm arrested for a breach of the peace
I'm arrested for a breach of the peace
I'm imprisoned for the truth that I speak
Will be executed for the love that I seek

Ancient mentality created solely by Homo sapiens
Pillaging their own kind across space and time
Neither animal nor divine, breathed into your blood
Whether you're deaf, dumb, or blind
He who sees from the side has eight eyes
Meditate and transform into the late night
Admire cherry blossoms from two breaths away
Enter the tea room disarmed and learn the Way
Drink water from the well, elixir for any pain felt
My steel's long sheathed so heaven isn't hell
Triumph is fulfilled when no one's killed
But life prevails when it ends. I'm Death himself
Tolerance for police brutality in a Zen style
Fragrance of mortal sacrifices to defend smiles
Of those women and children who are precious and innocent
When traces of murder and terror seem but evident
The earthquake distracted attention, not a precedent
But didn't stop the soldiers from butchering more dissidents
Donations channeled to corruption and military weapons
Vengeance is yours, Lord, witnessed with eyes open
Reflections of the sun, moon, and stars on the ocean
Paradigms are shifting, huh, in constant motion
They say all the answers are written on the hidden leaves
Read carefully, and you can be truly free

I'm arrested for a breach of the peace
I'm arrested for a breach of the peace
I'm imprisoned for the truth that I speak
Will be executed for the love that I seek

我因破壞秩序被捕
我因破壞秩序被捕
我因說出真相坐牢
因追尋摯愛而被判處死刑

我有個朋友是老師 叫Sylvie
穿了件黑色的T恤 自記錄掠劫的｢無疆界記者｣網站買來
五個手銬連結在2008的上方
網路付款 十四天後貨物寄達
可是當我正在這個主張言論自由的網站上下單時
語言介面卻換成簡體中文
政治宣傳從來就不像其表面看來那麼簡單 只能盡量破壞
我指揮文字掃射
黑名單上的作家尚未自深淵覺醒
在迷霧中的人購買了你多少正義？
她說｢警察丟臉｣ 卻收到音速般的死亡威脅
智慧被一再演奏的暴力公然消音
富人和政客在電視上交媾
嘲弄我的比喻核准那些地主的護照
讓他們進入我這個自願把自己名字寫錯的國家
北極區感覺麻痺的狼舔舐著雪地上凸出的刀刃
自殺節目 割傷舌頭 嗜血
屍體就任由躲著維持現狀的獵人撿拾
槍聲從戰區的另一方傳來
千萬里遠卻像電話鈴聲般接近
言論自由變成難解譬喻
血蛭的貪婪和拴住的狗

我因破壞秩序被捕
我因破壞秩序被捕
我因說出真相坐牢
因追尋摯愛而被判處死刑

此古老的思維 僅由人類所創
掠奪其同種 穿越時空
非神性也非獸性 不管汝聾 啞 盲
皆自呼吸傳入汝血內
能從側面明視者有八目
冥想 幻化身形進入深夜
賞櫻 秉持兩次吐納之距
卸下武裝 始入茶室習道
飲此井水 治療病痛之萬靈藥方
吾劍長收鞘中 因而天堂未為地獄
無人死傷遂為勝利
然生命終止即永恆 吾乃死神
以禪法容忍警察施暴
然當殺戮與恐怖的痕跡歷歷在目
犧牲生命時散出的芬芳
保護女人與孩童的珍貴純真笑容
地震分散注意 史有前例 並未阻止
軍隊屠殺更多的異議人士
捐款通至貪汙與軍事武器
復仇屬您 主 明眼見證
日月星光 海面倒影
乾坤挪移 持續運行
其云 所有答案皆撰於隱葉
細讀之 汝得真自由

我因破壞秩序被捕
我因破壞秩序被捕
我因說出真相坐牢
因追尋摯愛而被判處死刑
