A governement run
By the corporations of the world
Enslaving mothers, fathers,
Sons, and daughters
Profits put before people
Necessity <…> is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
Poverty frightens me. A woman's poverty is harsher than a man's.
Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.
For of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
— There are Christians here!
— Don't count on those scoundrels. Candia is a town built on slavery. And you are Escrainville's spoils of war. No one will help you.
— Not even the Knights of Malta?
— Not with their swords.
— But with gold?
— Only within the compass of the law.
— And they're warrior monks!
— Candia is a powder keg caught between Islam and Christianity. One false move and it'll go up!
J’aime la liberté, et languis en service,
Je n’aime point la cour, et me faut courtiser,
Je n’aime la feintise, et me faut déguiser,
J’aime simplicité, et n’apprends que malice;
Whether in chains or in laurels, Liberty knows nothing but victories.
