He called men to freedom,
And he was killed,
He spoke for the Truth,
So his blood was spilled.
Don't they realize, that
All their acts
Can never rip up an idea,
However great attacks?
Don't they know that
All they struggle for
Will die in this world,
Will not stand in store?
Do they think, that
By revamping history,
They can mutilate the Truth,
Shackle the free?
Yes, they try all that they can,
To snuff out the Light.
No, in their ignorance, they don't understand,
That wrongs can never outrun the Right.
He was true,
And the Lord Knows best,
May He grant him
A grand station in Paradise,
For what a great striving-
Only life sacrificed!
