I wrote part of this song about an ex-girlfriend of mine, but I mostly was inspired by my late brother and his political philosophy. I was also listening to some 70s Genesis at the time, having never heard much from that era.
lyrics
There are so many things I regret
Like my past actions
I did when I was young
How was I to know that in my head
I was fed advice
That was nothing but dung
And then you left me here all alone
'Cause I was a fool
I let slip my stupid tongue
You were
The first that I had
A connection
But now it is lost
But be
'Cause my head was bad
I threw it away
A friendship here tossed
It's been
Well over ten years
But I never
Forgot about you
But I'm
Well past my tears
Because now I
Have purpose anew
You were my brother in blood and arms
We stood against the
Tyrannical monster
But you couldn't be here right now
Because your health failed
And now you're a martyr
And there are ones who would use your name
But they pervert who
You are: your honor
You stood
For liberty
True freedom
And not for the state
You saw
The validity
To stand up and
Fight for a better fate
And it
Makes me so sick
That these people
Piss on your memory
They tried
To play a trick
About you, but
I knew you quite clearly
And now we know freedom has been lost
But still they can't see
What they do above
They gaslight me, say that I am nuts
But do they know that
My concern is out of love
Because nature is here beautiful
And I don't want Borgs
Stuffing it up with a glove
Loves
I've had in the past
Have become lost
But one still remains
It
Shall remain my last
Until I die
'Cause it flows in my veins
Freedom!
I won't give you up!
Not for anything!
Not even my life!
Tyrants!
I will blow them up!
We must end them
We must stop the strife
