The Revolutionary Songtext

von Illusion

With less than fifty men
And all intentions true
He set foot on that day to see it through
His mission it was set
To take hold of the land
Restoring rule back to the common man
José.

It rang out in the night
The sound of soldiers' fire
The best of forty-eight lay in the mire
A Judas in the fold
Had given out his plan
And all was clearly told
His body was laid out
For all the world to see
This would be the saddest sight for me
José.

He was a fool to try
To step outside his power
His ideal was too high
Within the shortest time
Forgotten was his name
As basic human nature stays the same
José.
