We met en route to prison. I was desperate.
You offered me a chance to run -- I went.
You say you plan to liberate the masses,
But I never heard you ask for their consent.

If you want to set men free,
Go ahead: Start with me!
For a man has yet to last who
Could call himself my master!
You fight slavery, so I've heard.
I will take you at your word.
In the end the Liberator will be mine!

I almost wish I were on Cygnus Alpha.
Escape the Feds and end up serving Blake?
There's no such thing as freedom in itself, but
You can choose the type of bondage that you'll take.

Your bearing says you think that you have snared me.
Your trusting, open smile says I am yours.
Don't underestimate me, Blake, beware me!
This one time you reckon with an unknown force.


If you want to set men free,
Go ahead: Start with me!
For a man has yet to last who
Could call himself my master!
You fight slavery, so I've heard.
I will take you at your word.
In the end the Liberator will be mine!

If you want to set men free,
Go ahead: Start with me!
For a man has yet to last who
Could call himself my master!
You fight slavery, so I've heard.
I will take you at your word.
In the end the Liberator will be mine!


In the end, the Liberator will be mine!!
