From Blake To Berlin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lRDstjTW6E&feature=youtu.be


And do those feet in present time
Walk upon Dresden’s crowded streets?
And does Pegida find its reach
Throughout the West and in Berlin?

And shall we not stand fast and firm
For principles:  freedom of dissent?
And shall Democracy take a stand
‘gainst dark Islamisation?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear – o clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!

I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword rest in my hand,
Till we’ve restored Democracy
On Berlin’s green and pleasant land!



(Wm. Blake / Sam)
