AVANTASIA - Dying For An Angel

A cry for help from Europe to America...

Avantasia - Dying For An Angel

You're awake in your darkest dream
I have come for you
And nobody can hear your scream
When I reach for you

Don't you remember their feet in your face
Before they have carved you in stone
And don't you remember your sweat and your pain

When you were drawn to the bone
When you were left all alone

Living on a dream
Dying for an angel
Reach out
Waiting for America
No sign of wings
As you turn your back on me

Living on a dream
Lonely cold and dire
Head up
Feet down in the fire
Giving till you're gone
Dying for an angel
Every day

Where do we go from the apogee?
What do we leave behind?
How will I stand what I have to see?
This reflection of mine

Collateral damage: your sacrifice
Gonna learn to fly; unlearn to fall
Gotta tear down the walls of love and lies

You have come on your own
You will go on all alone

Living on a dream
Dying for an angel
Reach out
Waiting for America
No sign of wings
As you turn your back on me

Living on a dream
Lonely cold and dire
Head up
Feet down in the fire
Give it 'til you're gone
Dying for an angel
Every day

[solo]

Living on a dream
Dying for an angel
Reach out
Waiting for America
No sign of wings
As you turn your back on me

Living on a dream
Dying for an angel
Reach out
Waiting for America
No sign of wings
As you turn your back on me

Living on a dream
Lonely cold and dire
Head up
Feet down in the fire
Give it 'til you're gone
Dying for an angel
Every day

Walter E. Williams: America's New Racists

by Walter E. Williams

Born in 1936, I've lived through some of our openly racist history, which has included racist insults, beatings and lynchings. Tuskegee Institute records show that between the years 1880 and 1951, 3,437 blacks and 1,293 whites were lynched. I recall my cousin's and my being chased out of Fishtown and Grays Ferry, two predominantly Irish Philadelphia neighborhoods, in the 1940s, not stopping until we reached a predominantly black North or South Philly neighborhood.

Today all that has changed. Most racist assaults are committed by blacks. What's worse is there're blacks, still alive, who lived through the times of lynching, Jim Crow laws and open racism who remain silent in the face of it.

Last year, four black Skidmore College students yelled racial slurs while they beat up a white man because he was dining with a black man. Skidmore College's first response was to offer counseling to one of the black students charged with the crime. In 2009, a black Columbia University professor assaulted a white woman during a heated argument about race relations. According to interviews and court records obtained and reported by Denver's ABC affiliate (12/4/2009), black gangs roamed downtown Denver verbally venting their hatred for white victims before assaulting and robbing them during a two-month crime wave. Earlier this year, four black girls beat a white girl at a McDonald's, and the victim suffered a seizure. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel ordered an emergency shutdown of the beaches in Chicago because mobs of blacks were terrorizing families. According to the NBC affiliate there (6/8/2011), a gang of black teens stormed a city bus, attacked white victims and ran off with their belongings.

Black silence in the face of black racism has to be one of the biggest betrayals of the civil rights struggle that included black and white Americans.

Obama agrees to tell Russia Britain's nuclear secrets

The US secretly agreed to give the Russians

sensitive information on Britain’s nuclear

deterrent to persuade them to sign a key treaty

by Matthew Moore

Information about every Trident missile the US supplies to Britain will be given to Russia as part of an arms control deal signed by President Barack Obama next week.

Defence analysts claim the agreement risks undermining Britain’s policy of refusing to confirm the exact size of its nuclear arsenal.

The fact that the Americans used British nuclear secrets as a bargaining chip also sheds new light on the so-called “special relationship”, which is shown often to be a one-sided affair by US diplomatic communications obtained by the WikiLeaks website.
