Randall and Sara Effner - Quit the CCP текст песни

Lyrics:

The year was nineteen forty nine, history turned a page
China's brand new flag was solid red
A specter spawned in Europe boldly stepped up on the stage
While some folks cheered the rest were filled with dread

The ancient ways were cast aside, class struggle was the rule
Deadly persecutions soon took place
In Mao's new China many groups and individuals
Were targeted and brought down in disgrace

Chorus:
There's a peaceful way to end this tyranny
Wave on wave of people have quit the CCP
For your conscience and your country take a stand
The day of reckoning is close at hand

The Great Leap Forward put the Chinese people to the test
Thirty million starved in just three years
The Cultural Revolution then stirred up a hornet's nest
The gods were watching China through their tears

In 1989 there was excitement in the air
Young people had a longing to be free
But soon the tanks and troops descended on Tiananmen Square
Crushing all hope for democracy

Chorus
There's a peaceful way to end this tyranny
Wave on wave of people have quit the CCP
For your conscience and your country take a stand
The day of reckoning is close at hand

Then came the final blasphemy against what's good and pure
The CCP attacked the Falun Gong
Though bleeding from a thousand wounds, they stood tall and endured
Now ten years later, they're still going strong

Evil never will prevail against righteous belief
Can darkness hold a candle to the light?
When you quit the CCP you'll breathe a great sigh of relief
And then for sure your future will be bright

Chorus
There's a peaceful way to end this tyranny
Wave on wave of people have quit the CCP
For your conscience and your country take a stand
The day of reckoning is close at hand
