Requiem For Dissent Lyrics - New Maps Of Hell - Bad Religion

Oratory of hope and glory a whisper and a rhyme 

An effigy, a soldier out of time 

Citizen and patriot you can't be far behind 

The funeral, weighing heavy on your mind 

Requiem 

Bring the dissident from slumber 

Requiem 

Raise the rebel from its grave 

Requiem 

Sound the revolution's thunder 

A monumental blunder averted and betrayed

Dig around the cemetery a record of the day 

Friends and neighbors in stages of decay 

But the saddest thing of all eludes discovery 

The stimulus for this somber ceremony 

Requiem 

Bring the dissident from slumber 

Requiem 

Raise the rebel from its grave 

Requiem 

Sound the revolution's thunder 

A monumental blunder averted and betrayed 

The sanctimonious minions how they grovel at the feet 

Authority is populist deceit 

Pity yet another casualty's demoralized decline 

Just a victim of irrational design
