I had a collection of these videos that scream out the messages that I think we've all been saying. I made this video back in 2009 like the other one Tree of Liberty I just shared a little while ago.
This song is called "Feeling Helpless?" and it is from the Sons of Liberty album Brushfires of the Mind.
In this series of videos I put the lyrics overlayed on top of imagery that I felt conveyed some of the things the song was singing about. This is good stuff. I hope you'll give it a listen, and follow along with the lyrics. Even if you are not into Metal music I think you'll find the lyrics strong.

For those of you that just absolutely cannot stand Metal I decided I'd go ahead and write the lyrics for you here.
Have you asked yourself
What difference can I make?
And are you feeling low?
Like you ve been betrayed?
Well I can empathize
I know just how you feel
Revolution starts within
Your spirit reflects your will
I bet you ve asked yourself
Do I have the strength?
Look around to those you love
In them you put your faith
Watch out for tactics
Of division and deceit
**Not until we stand as one are we truly free**
**[Chorus]**
You are alive and you are free
You're not alone
And without fear you're born to lead
These are the times
Just realize the truth you seek
You're not alone
**No victims here, we must be free**
These are the times
**Stand up! Are you helpless? Are you free?**
No More! Of the lies and the deceit
Stand up! For your nations sovereignty
No More! To corruption and deceit
- Jon Schaffer - 2009 (let that sink in)
