Lyric

In the city’s heart, shadows grow tall

They call for truth, but fear the fall

Questions rise, and answers fade

In a world where lies masquerade

He stands with courage, firm in light

As the world around him turns to night

The hemlock waits, but he won’t kneel

For in his soul, the truth is real

These are the last days of Socrates

He faces death with dignity

With wisdom’s voice, he speaks his plea

“True justice shall forever be.”

They judged him wrong, they feared his mind

For he saw the truths they were blind to find

Unshaken by the sentence near

He taught that wisdom conquers fear

They asked him why he wouldn’t flee

He smiled and said, “This is my decree

For the soul must face its final test

To leave this world with no regrets.”

These are the last days of Socrates

He faces death with dignity

With wisdom’s voice, he speaks his plea

“True justice shall forever be.”

The cup is raised, the time has come

But in his eyes, the truth’s not done

Philosophers die, but their words will reign

Like stars that shine through endless pain

So let the poison course through me

I am a man, but I’ll die free

For in this world, though lives may cease

The search for truth will never cease

They judged him wrong, they feared his mind

For he saw the truths they were blind to find

Unshaken by the sentence near

He taught that wisdom conquers fear

They asked him why he wouldn’t flee

He smiled and said, “This is my decree

For the soul must face its final test

To leave this world with no regrets.”

They asked him why he wouldn’t flee

He taught that wisdom conquers fear

He taught that wisdom conquers fear

They asked him why he wouldn’t flee

He smiled and said, “This is my decree

For the soul must face its final test

To leave this world with no regrets.”

The cup is raised, the time has come

But in his eyes, the truth’s not done

Philosophers die, but their words will reign

Like stars that shine through endless pain

These are the last days of Socrates

He faces death with dignity

With wisdom’s voice, he speaks his plea

“True justice shall forever be.”

So let the poison course through me

I am a man, but I’ll die free

For in this world, though lives may cease

The search for truth will never cease

So let the poison course through me

I am a man, but I’ll die free

For in this world, though lives may cease

The search for truth will never cease
