Oratory of hope and glory a whisper and a rhyme
|
An effigy, a soldier out of time
|
Citizen and patriot you can't be far behind
|
The funeral is weighting heavy on your mind
|
|
Requiem
|
Bring the dissident from slumber
|
Requiem
|
Raise the rebel from its grave
|
Requiem
|
Sound the revolution's thunder
|
A monumental blunder averted and betrayed
|
|
Dig around the cemetery a record of the day
|
Friends and neighbors in stages of decay
|
But the saddest thing of all eludes discovery
|
The stimulus for this somber ceremony
|
|
Requiem
|
Bring the dissident from slumber
|
Requiem
|
Raise the rebel from its grave
|
Requiem
|
Sound the revolution's thunder
|
A monumental blunder averted and betrayed
|
|
The sanctimonious minions how they grovel at the feet
|
Authority is populist deceit
|
Pity yet another casualty's demoralized decline
|
Just a victim of irrational design
|
|
Requiem! Requiem!
|
Requiem
|
Bring the dissident from slumber
|
Requiem
|
Raise the rebel from its grave
|
Requiem
|
Sound the revolution's thunder
|
A monumental blunder averted and betrayed
