The Continuation by Eric David Smith

This track was created from the inspiration of Charlie Chaplin's Speech "The Great Dictator" - I sampled his speech from Youtube and produced an original track around it using half of the speech.

"Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!

In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfill that promise. They never will!

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfill that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!"

Lyrics ::

i was in a cold room

feeling blood around my neck

and the noose was made of leather

and your voice was fading out

when my bones and blood start healing

you’ll see my love will never die

and I’ll come back for revenge

and I’ll find a reason why

Lyrics :: Sticks And Stones

light up the candle

you said it would never die

just burn at wick

let it shine

let it shine

we traveled down

the aftermath

of our remains

I’ll never take you back

and you know what hurts?

all the lies you told

such a clever game

playing sticks and stones

melt downs and tantrums

you said you’d be fine

the truth was a lie

how could I have been

so very blind?

so very blind

and we traveled down

the aftermath

of our remains

I’ll never take you back

and you know what hurts?

all the lies you told

such a clever game

playing sticks and stones

now all that remains

was the aftermath

don’t tell me you’ve changed

see you’re hot and cold

and we traveled down

the aftermath

of our remains

I’ll never take you back

and you know what hurts?

all the lies you told

such a clever game

playing sticks and stones

Lyrics :: We Just Couldn’t Keep Our Fire Bright

I was true

I was just like you

I gave my heart away

the same as you

oh, babe it hurts

but I feel it

yeah, I feel it too

see when we met

the stars were in our eyes

but then we saw

the spark it slowly died

we picked up sticks

and rubbed them with all our might

but we just couldn’t keep our fire bright

We tried so hard

Radiant :: Lyrics

Here I am

in a different time

a brand new shade

a different light

there I go

away from you

escape the darkness

escape the room

I am radiant

I am glowing like the sun….
