History, History

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot.

Remember, remember the fifth of November.
Kill the king, praise the Pope,
Guy Fawkes and his plan for murder--
Truly he is a symbol of hope

Remember, remember the fifth of November
and what it truly meant:
Indulgences and Inquisition.
Remember what his plan truly meant

Remember, remember the fifth of November…
Poor princess Elizabeth was only just nine.
But no one was equal, Protestants should die
And just like kidnapping and murder, it’s all perfectly fine

Remember, remember, the fifth of November,
freedom to worship does not mean just you.
Fawkes’ hypocrisy would never have been known
If his plan had gone through.
