The Creed of the Underground Press - Both Audio and Text

‘Til all - from whom the call to fight for truth and freedom come - and all who risk for what is right, are slain…or rendered dumb... ‘Til all - by whom the words of war are loud and clearly said - are bound by chains to speak no more, or lie, with brethren, dead… Though fettered tight to walls of stone, entombed by cold and damp, with comrades held, or, chained alone, in dark and dreary camp, We must endure - and cling to hope, though “chance” is wearing thin, and print what ires with whom we cope - with ink and feathered pen. Despite the blood the rapier spills from soldiers, pure of thought - the toll we take - with patriots’ quills - defies the - “all for naught,” And, standing strong, when faced with fear - alone or side by side - yeah - though we write with blood or tear - we must…until we’ve died!
