With human heart, with wisdom's head The soul from which resistance bled Attends to heroic, noble deed Hath planted revolution’s seed Sees the hour of earth’s need Fights so the oppressed be freed But tyrant moves to interdict And cull the bird in majestic flight Still his wings burn brilliant, bright A beacon in darkling, demon night The factory of lies ever churns Its propaganda, but people learn For truth, veracity ever yearn Yield enlightenment free thought earn The flame of truth torch tyrants’ yarns Dull its illusion, pale and wan Orwell with his magic on Hails new dawn of freedom’s sun See him riot, see him run Outwit empire, fast as a gun Time whirls on, as his censors rise Bar and barricade truth’s skies For him my heart is heavy sighs For him good grieves, generosity cries Because the state, it ever tries To war with Peace forever with lies But his lion heart uprise ‘Gainst cruel and petty hell, sings high For Heaven for he has wanted more Than sooty, oppressive, obsidian war His efforts destined to legend, lore War is pain truth is the cure The people sing, uprise, uproar Out the passion for freedom pour Murder’s truth on telescreens A truth to silence tyrants’ preens As he, eerily serene Espouse rancid myths on which mass weans Truth of ****** **** the sheen Of a “Just War,” an unjust regime The cogs of empire turn, resist The truth which blows with superior fist An effort by the good gods kissed Peaceniks kiss as empire hiss Diktat quell not a dream and wish Of more than march of oil and cash To bloat the man, his ****** sash No more by lies, beguiled, defiled Freedom is waking to go wild
