Lyrics
### 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)

### 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]
