Long Live Independence |
I heart the sound of marching feet |
But none that march for me |
The banners, flags and speeches |
Are but cheap and tawdry dreams |
Long live independence |
Long live independence |
Long live independence |
Long live independence |
The loves we shared we tore apart |
And tossed aside like kisses |
Now stand we tall in ashes |
Of our vainglorious times |
Long live independence |
Long live independence |
Long live independence |
Long live independence |
There comes a time in every man’s life |
When he must pick a side not stand aside |
And hide his face in shame |
There comes a time in everyman’s life |
When neither abstinence, nor decadence |
Wir, or wealth or elegance will do |
Or the whiplash of leaders |
Can stay his righteous hand |
There comes a time in everyman’s life |
Like for Charlemagne or Caesar |
Jean Paul Sartre or Nietzsche |
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Primo Levi, or Ferdinand Celine |
When enough is enough, and the waiting must end |
And the end must be brought to a head, (so we sing): |
Long live independence |
Long live independence |
Long live independence |
Long live independence |
Long live independence |
Long live independence |
Long live independence |
Long live independence |
