My spirit fights for freedom
For all humanity
For Earth is tyrant's kingdom
A morally bankrupt fraternity

I've pondered revolution
And will to see it come
Mass power is the solution
That will bring democracy home

Rebellion is felt not taught
'Tis the province of virtue
Disobedience must tyrant fight
To redeem what's right and true

When rebellion comes, the tyrant fears
The downfall of his master plan
A baron's endgame taints our years
Derived from when society began

In possessive pursuit of power
The tyrant jails the democrats
Incarcerated for an immortal hour
By preening, imperial rats

But solidarity transcends jails
Their perimeters fragile, weak
And public enlightenment fast corrects
The tyrants' plethora of mistakes

Socialism is the sublime destiny
Heaven dare not forfend
It oft begins in mutiny
The working class a loyal friend

A hallowed thing, October
Into a new horizon
Its art suffice to save the soul
From devil's liasion
