Bound to [bad word] here we exist [bad word] too numb, too weak to resist In our quest for knowledge we came to insanity Killing the earth for power and vanity Murder came to us along the way We questioned not those to blame Very clean he looked, yet grim Seven bloodhounds followed him Fat from the life-source of their prey Murder fed them day by day One by one, and two by two He tossed them human hearts to chew Next came Fraud, with his false smile All were fooled by his tactful guile We nurtured his existence accepted deceit His clever mind wove our defeat And the children, too innocent to know Round his feet played to and fro We showed little care, there was no alarm Turned our backs and let them starve Clothed with the bible, as with light And in the shadows of the night Like a serpent, next, Hypocrisy The age old creed of the so called free And many more [bad word] played In this ghastly masquerade Their vile qualities in clever disguise All respectable [bad word] eyes Last came the cowardly leaders of the state Before their thrones we lay Those leaders bred a ghastly birth And laid dead all life upon the earth Hope lurked within this darkening [bad word] But for those who listened death befell Still She called for all to hear In hope that [bad word] would [bad word] fear Rise like lions after slumber In unvanquishable number Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had befallen you ’Ye are many ---- they are few.‘ What is freedom? ---- ye can tell That which slavery is too well---- For its very name has grown To an echo of your own. It is to work and have such pay As just keeps life from day to day In your limbs as in a cell For the tyrants use to dwell So that you for them are made Loom, and plow, and sword, and spade, With or without your own will bent To their defense and nourishment.
