(Geoff Tate/Michael Wilton)
They've given me a mission
I don't really know the game yet
I'm bent on submission
Religion is to blame
I'm the new messiah
Death angel with gun
Dangerous in my silence
Deadly to my cause
CHORUS
Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak the word
The word is all of us
I've given my life to become what I am
to preach the new beginning
To make you understand
To reach some point of order
Utopia in mind, you've got to learn
To sacrifice, to leave what's now behind
CHORUS
Seven years of power
the corporation claw
The rich control the government, the media the law
To make some kind of difference
Then everyone must know
Eradicate the fascists, revolution will grow
The system we learn says we're equal under law
But the streets are reality, the weak and poor will fall
Let's tip the power balance and tear down the crown
Educate the masses, we'll burn the White House down
CHORUS

What is the meaning behind Speak lyrics?
When we interpret the meaning being expressed, the Queensrÿche song 'Speak' explores the concepts of insurgence, uprising, and offering one's life as a price. It depicts a situation where an individual is forced to choose between being silent or speaking, which in this case is a metaphor for being oppressed or becoming part of the new equitable society. The Speak lyrics predominantly focus on social commentary, fury, power, encouragement, and liberty. Simultaneously, the piece emphasizes revolution and change, social injustice and the raising of one's life as a price for the greater good. The words manifest the ideas of revolution, social issues, and even bloodshed, which might not be appropriate for kids under thirteen. The expressions like 'death angel with a gun' and 'burn the White House down' imply a degree of intensity and adult themes that require parental guidance. ✔️
