The stimulus for this somber ceremony
Requiem, raise the rebel from its grave
A monumental blunder averted and betrayed
Citizen and patriot, you can't be far behind
Bring the dissident from slumber
Requiem, raise the rebel from its grave
Requiem, sound the revolution's thunder
Authority is populist deceit
Requiem, bring the dissident from slumber
Requiem, bring the dissident from slumber
Requiem, sound the revolution's thunder
Just a victim of irrational design
Requiem, sound the revolution's thunder
But the saddest thing of all eludes discovery
Friends and neighbors in stages of decay
A monumental blunder averted and betrayed
Dig around the cemetery, a record of the day
Requiem, raise the rebel from its grave
The funeral weighing heavy on your mind
Pity yet another casualty's demoralized decline
Requiem, requiem, requiem
The sanctimonious minions, how they grovel at the feet
