Song of False Freedom
There was the Mass of de Mendoza,
New Orleans, Frisco by the sea,
but on the dies lacrimosa
you gave your freedom
for your liberty.
Yes, there were Huns and even worse,
you made pacts,
you waged wars with them,
who did you fight for,
what did you die for:
the City of God or the waste of men?
New men were bred with brand new fiber,
Potomac made it to the Rhine,
pushing it down into the Tiber,
the Sun went black
and ceased to shine.
Many got blind and could not see,
elders told fables to the youth...
Now ruin is at hand,
it's time to make a stand,
not for the ghost of democracy
but for the Spirit of Truth.
