Inspiration of this song:
on April 24, 1970, a member of the World United Formosans for Independence Peter Huang attempted to assassinate Chiang Ching-kuo, who was the Vice Premier of the Republic of China at the time in front of the Plaza Hotel in New York. The attempt ended in failure, however, when pushed to the ground by security personnel, Huang shouted "let me stand up like a Taiwanese!"
Supreme Pain for the Tyrant Lyrics
Endless nightfall, swallow the sun
Void of silence, choking on the past's blood
Drowning in deception, taken by the black flood
Sea is rising, never feel or see again
Hypnotizing visage preaching of supreme pain
Searching for a sign
Guide my hands unto your will
Let me be the one
Watch the blood of martyrs spill
Light that flickers in the dark
Forge the way through blackest night
Strangled silence makes its mark
Pierce the heart of tyrant's sight
With these hands I wash the blood clean
Watch it flow past visions obscene
Visions obscene
Endless nightfall, swallow the sun
Veil of madness, prison of the mind's eye
Falling in the vortex, stifling the last sigh
Poisoned cortex dooming flesh to weakened form
Bones are breaking, shattered by the last storm
Searching for a sign
Guide my hands unto your will
Let me be the one
Stand above the one I kill
Light that flickers in the dark
Forge the way through blackest night
Strangled silence makes its mark
Pierce the the heart of tyrant's sight
With these hands I wash the blood clean
Watch it flow past visions obscene
Let me stand up like a Taiwanese
Only justice will bring you peace
