The Maquis Anthem

by Tamara Reuveni

So I know the Maquis are sort of the bad guys, but I totally sympathized with them. I wrote this after watching the episode where they all get massacred. I cried the whole time.

The Maquis

When everything you trusted in abandons you,

When everything you believed in proves untrue,

When good men turn away from the innocent cries,

When evil triumphs and good men do not fight,

We are there, the last defense.

We are there. We do not yield.

We stand together, strike in darkness,

Go down on our own shield.

We have no flag to raise with pride,

But still we fight. Fight and die.

'The price of peace', 'The greater good' – such sweet and noble lies,

When evil triumphs and good men close their eyes,

We are there, to bear the burden.

We are there. We hear the call.

We stand together, strike in darkness,

For evil does not triumph until the last defense falls.
