The Passage

Начало книги

You voted with your lives.

You could not bend or compromise.

So, like sand eroding from under foundations,

You slipped away, grain by grain,

In the most grievous battle of all,

Facing them alone, or holding your children’s hands

With the most desperate bravery

Until you knew freedom — or night.

As the last walls fall

It is your victory.

We will not forget your struggle.

May we be as brave

When ours is upon us.
