Don't forget how we got here.
|
We've built this on the backs of the unrewarded.
|
They saved their sacrifice and died a fruitless death.
|
So with my dying breath I beseech you, soldiers.
|
Don't lose your nerve as you get older.
|
The battle that you fight today is the most important.
|
|
Though their numbers seemed so strong that winter afternoon,
|
before the end they all stood on their own.
|
Don't make the mistake of ideological compromises.
|
Consensus won't do you justice.
|
Your passion for your cause does all the talking.
|
|
Men without conscience will deceive your mind,
|
but not your heart-unless you let them.
|
The struggle will go on as long as you keep fighting.
|
Just don't forget how we got here.
|
|
Don't forget just how we got here
|
they saved their sacrifice, and died a fruitless death
|
so with my dying breathe i beseech you
|
soldiers don't lose your nerve as you get older
|
the battle that you fight today is the most important
|
|
The Decembrists' struggle of so many years ago
|
was a battle to convince themselves the cause they chose was worthy of their blood.
|
When faced with odds they didn't like they stood and paused in indecision.
|
Our hearts and dreams sank faster than the sun.
