about

This work is my professional pride and joy. Produced by David Tyo, "Freedom" is an anthemic rock explosion of music and anti-facist angst. A must for military personnel and everyone who believes in the best in all of us.

Johnny Swain stands in solidarity with Ukraine. 100% of proceeds through BandCamp until the official release on June 7, 2022 will be donated in support of the Ukranian Red Cross. Please donate a little or a lot. The Ukraine deserves support from the world and we all need to do our part. It is saddening to see how these criminal acts of war result in death and destruction over political insanity.

DONATE NOW! SUPPORT UKRANIAN FREEDOM!

lyrics

Sometimes
We get so bold
We think we know
But history's shown
We should've left it alone, but no.
We turn every stone
We search their homes
And when we find them we won't know

I want to live
I want to die
I want to redefine the reasons why I try to hard
Sometimes
I live for you
I'd die for you
Lay down my life
For Freedom
Lay down my life for you

We can't see
'Cause we've been
Blinded all this time goes by
So easy now and how could be confuse
What was right before our eyes

I want to love
I want to hate
I want someone to say it's not to late to try
I want to find the reasons why we have to fight
For Freedom
Lay down my life for you

I can't conceive how they believe that they'll change anything
Must be naive
It seems to me hostility will breed and breed til anger supercedes
This tragedy will leave us wishing we could see
A better way to guarantee our...
Freedom
Lay down my life for you

I want to live
I want to die
I want to realign the planets in the sky...
