A song about the hero of the Roman Slave Revolt 73 BC

Music: Bernd Harmsen
Lyrics: Bernd Harmsen

Spartacus

we broke through your lines
and taught your legions fear
when you thought us besieged
we attacked you from the rear

the rural hands we trained
prepared them for the battle
to defeat your mighty legions
and chase them just like cattle

if it wasn't for betrayal
you'd never have stood a chance
so you made me their hero
when you pierced me with your lance

the slaves you once abused
who worked your fields and mines
have learned there can be freedom
beyond your enemy lines

now you think you that can humble
the proud men they've become
and make an example of
who had fought like one

tied to their crosses
soiled, and half-decayed
there will remain the message
that they have conveyed

tied to their crosses
soiled, and half-decayed
there will remain the message
that they have conveyed

we will break through your lines
and teach your armies fear
when you'll think us besieged
we'll attack you from the rear x

Finnegans Wake Book 1 Chapter 5
'Tis as human a little story as paper could well carry, in affect, as singsing so Salaman susuing to swittvitles while as un- bluffingly blurtubruskblunt as an Esra, the cat, the cat's meeter, the meeter's cat's wife, the meeter's cat's wife's half better, the meeter's cat's wife's half better's meeter, and so back to our horses, for we also know, what we have perused from the pages of I Was A Gemral, that Showting up of Bulsklivism by 'Schot- tenboum', that Father Michael about this red time of the white terror equals the old regime and Margaret is the social revolution while cakes mean the party funds and dear thank you signifies national gratitude. In fine, we have heard, as it happened, of Spartacus intercellular. We are not corknered yet, dead hand! We can recall, with voluntears, the froggy jew, and sweeter far 'twere now westhinks in Dumbil's fair city ere one more year is o'er. We tourned our coasts to the good gay tunes. When from down swords the sea merged the oldowth guns and answer made the bold O' Dwyer. But.
