Literature Text

First they struck out against us
So we struck back harder

In the name of freedom

Then they killed our servicemen
So we killed more of theirs
And the innocents

In the name of freedom

We did not whisper
We did not cry
For our lost

And especially not for theirs

We searched for things
We knew were never there
But still we continued striking

In the name of freedom

So when they strike against us
To the tune of an eye-for-an-eye

And all our men are dead
Killed by the defenders

Of their own nation

The men
Just like us

Will strike back

In the name of freedom
Not sure I'm totally happy with this, but I really wanted to write something. Its based on a poem by a guy called Martin Neimoller called "first they came" about the nazis in the second world war, I really love the song of No-FX's thats based on this, the lyrics especially. [link] Link to Wikipedia article on it, it's quite interesting if you have spare time. Anyway, enjoy.
