Only the workers can protect themselves
And a look at history helps us remember everyday
A great tale of strength, honor and fighting
Took place in Chicago streets
They gave their lives so we could have more freedom
8 martyrs punished without any cause or reason
So our tribute is to continue their fight
We defend what's ours, we defend what's right
They fought, they died
With their heads held high
Their story and their power
Will guide our steps to fight
Confront their guns
With our stones and sticks
We can change history as in 1886
8 men were judged for claiming to be anarchists
First they took your life, now they're exploiting your memory
But a flame so bright will never cease to give us light
Even if they kill us, we will never die
1 bomb, 2 shots, death for both, 8 men being sentenced
But with such strong ideals, greeted death with a smile on their faces
So our tribute is to continue their fight
We defend what's ours, we defend what's right
They fought, they died
With their heads held high
Their story and their power
Will guide our steps to fight
Confront their guns
With our stones and sticks
We can change history as in 1886
"We are sentenced to death for anarchy and as It is our believes that
Are being judged I will shout it out loud. I'm an Anarchst!
Anarchy is a hostile doctrine opposed to brutal force,
This criminal production system and to the unjust distribution of
Wealth. You and only you are the agitators and conspirators.
I despise you, I despise your order, I despise your law,
Your force and your authority. Hang me now!
" (Extract of the speeches given right before being
Hanged by the 5 men sentenced to death for the Haymarket events)
