Legacy of Socrates

### Verse 1: Why was Socrates, so wise, condemned? A philosopher, greatest of all times, In Athens he was hated, cast aside, Accused of corrupting youthful minds. ### Pre-Chorus: He asked questions, pure and plain, Stripped away the certainties, causing pain, Made them face their own empty pride, Their inconsistent thoughts, they could not hide. ### Chorus: [Harmonies Choir] He taught us to doubt, to see through lies, (Lies, lies, lies) Unmasking the false, corrupt disguise, A threat to the status quo, he stood tall, For the truth, he gave it all. (Gave his life) ### Verse 2: Before the court, he stood alone, Refusing to beg, to plead or moan, With courage, he drank the hemlock down, A bright mind in history, forever renowned. ### Pre-Chorus: Politicians corrupt, teachers false, He exposed them all, without a pause, Too dangerous, they wanted him gone, But his legacy, forever strong. ### Chorus: [Harmonies Choir] He taught us to doubt, to see through lies, (Lies, lies, lies) Unmasking the false, corrupt disguise, A threat to the status quo, he stood tall, For the truth, he gave it all. (Gave his life) [Solo guitar riffs] ### Bridge: Intelligence discomforts, it’s clear, The masses prefer illusions dear, Living happy in ignorance’s light, While truth disrupts their peaceful night. ### Chorus: [Harmonies Choir] He taught us to doubt, to see through lies, (Lies, lies, lies) Unmasking the false, corrupt disguise, A threat to the status quo, he stood tall, For the truth, he gave it all. (Gave his life) ### Outro: Banned and ostracized, despised and scorned, Yet Socrates’ spirit, forever adorned, In questioning and doubt, his wisdom lies, A beacon of truth, that never dies. [Spoken] Thank you, Socrates [Fading solo guitar riffs]
