A beautiful track that explores the emotions that Socrates felt as he was being prosecuted and ultimately executed for trying to educate.
Lyrics
Irony has slapped my cheek Gentlemen it’s your pleasure to hear me speak In my defense I choose my words wisely But wisdom has condemned I ask you to take a breath This is knowledge not ethics Knowledge not ethics Can your clever tongue tell the jury Who improves the youth in this city Saying I’m the only one I’m the only one I’m the only one Who corrupts them You are silent You are silent It’s better for a man to live among good Rather than wicked All my life I’ve searched for a sound Keeping my nose pointed down to the ground I will rip apart my brain Keeping my thoughts both separate but same It’s never too late to throw the dice To see what happens with broken lines And mental violence To help cure the room of deadly silence Nourish my reason Feed off my hunger Nourish my reason Make each blip a new idea I chose my words wisely But wisdom has condemned I asked you to take a breath I said knowledge not ethics Knowledge In my defense I die
