[Chorus 1]

Release

The sword of Damocles

Just release it

To the authorities

[Verse 1]

We have been given

The same fortune cookies

You and I and

All of our progenies

[Verse 2]

Raise kindness

Above all else

Avoid the books of

Hatred behind the shelves

[Verse 3]

I will caress your

Caress your curly hair

With affection

Many a good reason to cut off your head

Then and there

[Chorus 2]

Release

Release

The Sword of Damocles

Release

Just release it

Release it

I’m begging

I'm begging

You on my knees

I'm begging you on my knees

[Verse 4]

There is no reason

Release

To hide it from the sun

Release

I am a tyrant

Tyrant, release it

Trust me, you are not the one and only

And trust me, you are not the one and only

And trust me, you are not the one and only

Lonely person

[Chorus 3]

Release

The sword of Damocles

Release

The sword of Damocles

Just release it

Cut the thread

Why don’t you please
