Vientedefiant protests of 1983, the Popular Democratic Movement (MDP)
Sick of the tortures, sick of the deaths, decade of brutal repression
The cruel dictator, disinclined, in returning the country's democracy
Pinochet declares, "Democracy is the breeding ground of Communism"
Manuel Rodriguez Patriotic Front (FPMR), militants of the left wing
Covertly conspire, the deadly objective, bring down the military regime
Elaborate plans, must be devised, to set a lethal death trap
The dark raptor, the Fascist champion, is to be hunted down
The tyrant fist cracks down
Security forces brutalise innocent unarmed protestors
Rojas and Quintana (Carmen Gloria Quintana and Rodrigo Rojas)
Bludgeoned victims broken and bloodied
Dowsed with petrol and burned alive!
Under the duress of autocracy
In the pursuit of democracy
Under the threat of butchery
Endless systemic politicide
Endless continuum of homicide
People pretty for tyrannicide
Cesar Bunster, a former exile, puts his will to the task
Enlisting help from Cuban Intel, Critical info against the scourge
The FPMR, bravest recruits, twenty eight men and women
Began amassing, in secret locations, a considerable weapons detail
Inexperience shows
But it's made up for in fervour, willing to lay down their lives
Their deadly inspiration
Tales of Allende and Manuel Rodriguez, Patriotic sacrifices
The armed militant struggle war of freedom or death
Stern will to fight the tyrant's power unto the end
Under the duress of autocracy
In the pursuit of democracy
Under the threat of butchery
Endless systemic politicide
Endless continuum of homicide
Necessity for tyrannicide
Night is the moment, a rite is uttered -
"as the shadow of a living memory
Manuel Rodriguez comes back to front combat
Against the same immemorial tyrant
he comes lightning up the necessary war
brings in his hands the punishing fire
he comes and goes with his invisible militias
signalling the birth of a new man..."
FPMR agents wait in position
m-16 rifles, sub-automatic 9mm
Low rocket launchers and 30 hand grenades
ready to strike down the tyrant raptor!!!
Unit 1 "Contention and clash" blocked the convoy with an armoured car, shooting two lead drivers dead
"a**ault" units 2 and 3: Mission to destroy the second, third and fourth cars, Pinochet the target
Unit 4, "rear guard": targets and destroys the fifth car, blocking way to escape alive!
3 low rockets fired at Pinochet's bullet riddled car... only one makes target...
remains unexploded
Five members of the convoy are dead
... but Pinochet still survived!
"Siglo Veinte" members later killed in Corpus Christi massacre!!!
