Silence: yeah sure, that's exactly what they want
I can imagine the power gained in shutting us up
Long live the voices of the timid and weak
Engaged in a battle where there is no free speech
No-one takes our power, we just give it away
Can't complain if you choose to give your voice for trade
Enough with the excuses, let's start our own war and remember just what our freedom of speech is for

The Path to Salvation
The late autumn evening air filled the monk's lungs, but it wasn't the season that chilled his bones. The heavy-handed presence of evil he had sensed upon entering the woods surrounding this mountain village had not bothered to conceal itself from him.
