Bad Religion

Bad Religion - Requiem For Dissent lyrics

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 is weighting 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

Requiem! Requiem!

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
