lirik lagu penitent - prologue
[spoken]
my manner of thinking, so you say, cannot be approved
do you suppose i care?
a poor fool indeed is he who adopts a manner of thinking for others
my manner of thinking stems straight from my considered reflections
it holds with my existence, with the way i am made
it is not in my power to alter it, and were it, i would not do so
these manners of thinking you find fault with are my sole consolation in life
they alleviate all my sufferings in prison, compose all my pleasures in the world outside
and are dearer to me than life itself
not my manner of thinking, but the manner of thinking of others has been the source of my unhappiness
the reasoning man who scorns the prejudices of simpletons necessarily becomes the enemy of simpletons
he must expect as much, and laugh at the inevitable
a traveler journeys along a fine road
it has been strewn with traps, he falls into one
do you say it is the traveler’s fault, or that of the scoundrel who lays the trap?
if then, as you tell me, they are willing to restore my liberty if i am willing to pay for it by the sacrifice of my principles or my tastes
we may bid one another an eternal farewell
for rather than part with those, i would sacrifice a thousand lives and a thousand liberties, if i had them
i am their fanatic adherent
and fanaticism in me is the product of persecutions i have endured from my tyrants
the longer they continue their vexations, the deeper they root my principles in my heart
and i openly declare that no one need talk to me about liberty
if it is offered to me only in return for their destruction
