In this room, in this place such is the end,
the end of the beginning, and the beginning of the end,
the whispers, the arranging of protests,
the secret meetings amongst friends,
yes, in this place such is the end,
holding discussions of the repercussions of a brutal dictatorship that has broken so many people's spirits,
and that has killed so many people,
in so many violent ways again and again,
and in this place, such is the beginning of the end,
in a poorly lit room,
away from prying eyes and hopefully spies,
talking and talking of plots to overthrow a dictatorship,
and from the dictatorship the nation defends,
and in this place, yes, such is the end,
the final moments staring anxiously into the eyes of friends,
friends who you may never see again,
and sat there counting the minutes,
waiting to run into the flames of hell with guns loaded,
and with your life on the line,
and your relatives unaware,
that they may never see you again,
I salute you all for how strong,
brave and courageous the minds of women and men,
women and men are who are willing to sacrifice their lives,
to overthrow a brutal dictatorship,
and who are prepared to give all they have to give,
knowing that they may never live ever again.
