letra de the zealots of thessaloniki - mystras
thessaloniki, great city, envied and sought after
liberated from the hands of saracens, francs and normans
now caught up inbetween civil war
conquered by a pretender that favours the wealthy
fifty n0ble families hold land and every position of authority
enslaving common people with chains of debt
siding with the pretender to the throne
while famine and misery reap
in the worker’s unions, the whisper of rebellion spreads
old dusty books are opened, new ideas fervently discussed
to give power back to the people, to create an ideal poleitia
many congregate at the teachings of barlaam of calabria
historians will call them zealots
democracy, separation of church and state
social and philosophical ideas enshrouded in religious debate
under immense danger we rouse the people
motivate the passionless, appease the fearful
confront the reactionaries
the time for swords to sing has come
avenge the murderers of the people
hurl them from the walls of the citadel!
a servant dragged his master
there a slave his purchaser
while the peasant struck the strategos
and the labourer beat the soldier
we have risen, a beacon of light in a tyrannic world
we shall endure proud and free until the end
until our story is heard to all downtrodden in the world
long live the commune of thessaloniki!
