Noniin. Paasaukseksi tämä taas meni. Liudalla lainauksia höystettynä, vieläpä - taitavat tosin kaikki olla ajalta ennen tekijänoikeuslakeja. Kiitos ja anteeksi kuitenkin, herrat Pascal, Jefferson ja Brutus.
Justice
without force
is powerless;
and force
without justice
tyrannical
There is a way we must go
Yes, head for the throne
There is a deed we must do
Let them take arms
The tree of liberty must be
refreshed from time to time
with the blood of patriots
with blood of tyrants
This is the way we will go
Sic semper tyrannis
Cut the head, not the roots
to save the tree
And always carry a sword
under the myrtle-branch
Can we justify
Tyrannicide
As a sacrifice
on the altar of reason
Never compromise
freedom of speech
liberty
or democracy
Justice
without force
is powerless;
and force
without justice
tyrannical
There is no greater crime
Than to condone, to idly stand by
There is no greater hero
than the uncrowner of oppressors
the liberator
There is a price we must pay
the blood-stained price of freedom
There is a duty on us all
to not be slaves, not be sheep
Lady Liberty, with blood on her hands
'cause lust for power never dies
This is the duty of us all -
To not be herded into tyranny
Power in the end will corrupt
Those who yearn for the throne
The Tree of Liberty needs to be fed
To be nourished by tyrant's blood
Can we justify
Tyrannicide
As a sacrifice
on the altar of reason
Never compromise
freedom of speech
liberty
or democracy |
laurentius
