Remember This

Remember this, nothing is sacred
We live right beside the abyss
Remember this, there is no doubt
That your name is on somebody’s list
Remember this, the cloud you live under
Is hiding the thunder to come
Remember this, truth’s out of season
They’ll try you for treason, my son
Remember this, Venceremos
They can’t tame us, please remember this
Venceremos, we’ll be famous, our names on every list
Remember this, requiems don’t quite make up for the loss of a life
Remember this, southern bananas fall prey to piranhas by night
Venceremos, they can’t tame us, please remember this
Venceremos, we’ll be famous, our names on every list
Lost out here in the market place with nowhere left to run
Too many people have disappeared to doubt what has been done
Remember this, locked in the stadium are people who’ve fought without fear
Remember this, battered and broken for what they have spoken for years
Remember this…
