Analysis of Convicted Oath



When I took my oath
Can’t remove my coat
Fear begun to float
I’m like a sinking boat...

But why should I really bother
If the masses need a brother
Aside from help of their mother
Who can bring the fight together.

Keep dreaming, failure is just lapse of the night!
Keep sailing, everyday is a constant fight!
Keep shouting, your voice can give them sudden fright!
Keep working, you will be the land's bravest knight!

I am now the man who decided to stand;
Convicted to work and be part of the band;
With full strength I can be the pride of the land
Among others who oath to join the command.

Time to burn my coat, it's useless
Folded my pants to join the landless
Ready to speak up against cruelness
Come! join me in the movement of the masses.
