Day after day as I bodies slay And the sun becomes dark in the sky Everything's lost for this human race And the dawn of a new age will rise
Rays of sunlight now are gone Only visions of ice will remain The fallen ones and forgotten souls Will rise up over the slain
No more hope as we raise our hands to the sky No more dreams as the rivers run dry
Everything's lost all is left astray Only sorrow and sadness remains Curtains have dropped on our fallen world And the forces of darkness shall rise
Why can't you see what has happened to thee Can you not open your eyes Everything's lost there is no retreat And the valleys echo with pain
No more hope as we raise our hands to the sky No more dreams as the rivers run dry
On the endless sea of madness we sail forever more And the endless tears of sadness towards the distant shores When the flame has died forever we stand one and all With the power of the almighty sword
We fight the battle on the fields tonight To save us from the master of all evil sign And to the battle on forever standing strong We feel the fire power of the night warriors
No more tomorrow Dying of sorrow Over the mountains and up through the trees Traveling across seven seas
No more hope as we hold our hands to the sky No more dreams as the rivers run dry
On the endless seas of madness we sail forever more And the endless tears of sadness towards the distant shores When the flame has died forever we stand one and all With the power of the almighty sword
We fight the battle on the fields tonight To save us from the master of all evil sign And to the battle on forever standing strong We feel the fire power of the night warriors
On the endless seas of madness we sail forever more And the endless tears of sadness towards the distant shores When the flame has died forever we stand one and all With the power of the almighty sword
We'll fight the battle on the fields tonight To save us from the master of all We fight the battle on the fields tonight To save us from the master of all evil sign
And to the battle on Forever standing strong We feel the fire Power of the night warriors
The power of the night warriors...
I am disturbed & upset that this still exists. I never heard of it until this year, never heard about how the higher-ups know about what happens & yet don't seem to care, as the school is still open. They think changing the name & adding human rights classes-- which are sometimes not even offered & are relatively small-- is going to change the school overall. No. It's not. They are killing people they call "subversives;" people who think differently from their regime, people who are innocent, & are either considered dangerous-- artists, musicians, students, &c.-- or are guilty by association. They kill everyone, be they children, religious people, or people who have never done anything wrong in their lives but just happen to know someone they deem "subversive." They claim Amnesty International gave them a thumbs up; Amnesty International says that they have never said that, & never would.
This isn't some sole event, & it's not the only horrible thing in the world today. But I find it extremely disturbing that this is my country that is training these people, while knowing what they do. The interests they say they are protecting are not the interests of the everyday citizen. This isn't me being anti-American: the people who are allowing this to happen are anti-American! We want to make like we're this beacon, & then we do this. It's disgusting & hypocritical. And the higher-ups in our government & military are letting it happen. They admitted it. They train these people, knowing who they're killing-- people that, over here, we supposedly value-- & then arrest people who peacefully protest, asking for the permanent closure of the school. There are protestors who have served nine months in prison for exercising their First Amendment & their right to assemble peacefully.
If they say this is all ok, then what path is the country heading down?
The government has swelled; it was never supposed to, it was supposed to be small. People keep wanting to add to it; this wasn't what the original plan was, & it causes far more problems than it solves. The federal government was supposed to be mainly for defense of the nation, & now it has far too much power, & people keep giving it more, by insisting on programs & crap for every-- little-- thing. Stop giving the government so much power!
If the death squads obviously don't seem to regard as these people as equals, then what are we saying when we train them? What does this mean could happen tomorrow, what could happen over here? I just can't believe that the government of the country that I live in-- the country that's supposed to be all about "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" & equality-- is saying that it's ok to kill innocents. People who think differently from the government. It's disturbing.
