Throughout history and in all corners of the globe I have struggled to be free and to free others, to stand for liberty, justice and equality. To make the world a better place for ALL.
You have defended the baser instincts, the bigoted motive, the greedy goal.
I have often lost the battle, but never the high ground.
You will always be there. You will use every weapon at your disposal to crush me. You are the evil in men's eyes.
I will never back down. I have the right and history on my side.
No matter the time, or the place, or the odds, I'm Spartacus...
and I always will be.
