They Killed Him
Echoes of Sacrifice: Tribute to Courageous Souls
Lyrics
There was a man named mahatma Gandhi
Introduction of Mahatma Gandhi, a historical figure known for his nonviolent resistance.
He would not bow down, he would not fight
Gandhi's refusal to submit or engage in physical violence.
He knew the deal was down and dirty
Acknowledgment that the situation was corrupt and morally wrong.
And nothing wrong could make it right away
Recognizing that no wrongdoing could rectify the situation immediately.
But he knew his duty, and the price he had to pay
Gandhi's understanding of his responsibility and the sacrifices he needed to make.
Just another holy man who tried to make a stand
Describing Gandhi as another spiritual figure attempting to take a stand.
My god, they killed him !
An expression of shock and dismay at Gandhi's assassination.
Another man from atlanta, georgia
Introduction of Martin Luther King Jr., another prominent advocate for civil rights.
By the name of martin luther king
Highlighting King's origins in Atlanta, Georgia.
He shook the land like rolling thunder
Metaphorical impact of King's actions on society.
And made the bells of freedom ring today

With a dream of beauty that they could not burn away

My god, they killed him !
