From the Battle Cry of America
to Requiem for America

In 2014 I wrote the new lyrics below for that famous fiery aria by Verdi

the cabaletta of Manrico from Il Trovatore (The Troubadour)

hoping that American people would pick it and rise.

Alas, I happened to be wrong: nobody rose.

Then, trying to classify Americans in terms of the famous saying about three kinds of people

Those who make things happen;
Those who watch things happen;
Those who wonder what happened,

I came to realization, that American sheeple falls into the third and an additional forth category:

Those who wonder what happened, and
Those who deny what happened.

With that in mind, in 2018, I wrote alternative lyrics
for the famous song "God bless America" by Irving Berlin (considered almost the anthem),
turning it into a funeral march "God damn America" (below).

Finally, the third and last masterpiece of music goes with its original lyric.

The Battle Cry (2014)

and sing along following the updated text:

Wake up America Confront the challenge Nation is taken By ugly foe. Foe in the White House Foes in the Congress Foes in the media – We are at war!      Fraud walks unchallenged      Gloried by lackeys,      Shreds Constitution,      Welcomes Islam. Rise up America Topple the impostor, Save the Republic While we have time!      It is the time!      It is the time!      Alarm! Alarm!      Wake up, it is the time!

Listen up America, Who over-powered you, Lefts and progressives Crowded your home.   Hundred years brainwash, Instincts of baseness, All came together As perfect storm.     Concepts eroded,     Beyond repair,     Moochers exploded     Sinking the ship. Wake up America Out of complacency. Time is expiring. No more retreat.      It is the time!      It is the time!      Alarm! Alarm!      Wake up, it is the time!

(Chorus) Get up, get up, And rise up to arms Get up, stand up, Be ready to fight! We will defend our land Our life, our freedom – yes!

God damn America (2020)

Stand up and sing the Irvin Berlin's song in the minor key

God damn America Living by lies, Whose election Was stolen, Yet the "citizens" Closed their eyes. Still acknowledged And accepted As new norm for Years to come. God, judge America, Convicting scum, God, judge America, That justice come.

God damn America Land of the freaks, Which betrayed and Forsake You Turning land Into sodomite den. From the mountains, To the prairies, To the ocean's Towering breaks, God damn America, For justice sake. God break America, For justice sake!

God break America Back into states As this nation Has failed You And deserved Her deplorable fate. From the mountains, To the prairies, To the oceans Waving tall, God break America, To go John Galt! God break America, To save just small.

Mozart, with the score of the Requiem on his lap, gives Süssmayr last-minute instructions. Constanze is to the side and the messenger is leaving through the main door.
