Lyrics
O-ra-to-ry of hope and glo-ry, a whis-per and a rhyme,
An ef-fi-gy, a sol-dier out of time--
Ci-ti-zen and pa-tri-ot, you can't be far be-hind
The fu-ne-ral weigh-ing hea-vy on your mind
Bring the dis-si-dent from slum-ber,-
Raise the re-bel from its grave
Sound the re-vo-lu-tion's thun-der,
A mon-u-men-tal blun-der a-ver-ted and be-trayed--
Dig a-round the ce-me-te-ry, a re-cord of the day,
Friends and neigh-bours in sta-ges of de-cay--
But the sad-dest thing of all e-ludes dis-co-ve-ry,-
The stim-u-lus of this som-ber ce-re-mo-ny
Bring the dis-si-dent from slum-ber,-
Raise the re-bel from its grave--
Sound the re-vo-lu-tion's thun-der,
A mon-u-men-tal blun-der a-ver-ted and be-trayed--
The sanc-ti-mo-ni-ous min-ions, how they gro-vel at the feet,
Au-tho-ri-ty is pop-u-list de-ciet,--
Pi-ty yet a-no-ther ca-sual-ty's de-mo-ra-lized de-cline,-
Just a vic-tim of ir-ra-tio-nal de-sign
Re-qui-em
Re-qui-em
Re-qui-em
Bring the dis-si-dent from slum-ber,-
Raise the re-bel from its grave
Sound the re-vo-lu-tion's thun-der,
A mon-u-men-tal blun-der a-ver-ted and be-trayed--
