Discover the story of the song > Poverty For All – Ignite

The lyrics describe a revolution that took place in 1956 against a Communist regime that was occupying the protagonist's country. Despite the revolution's apparent success, the aftermath was marked by poverty and suffering for the people, who were subjected to murder, torture, and famine under the new Red Bourgeoisie government. The song expresses sorrow and frustration at the so-called liberation that turned out to be a violent domination, resulting in fifty years of collective suffering and the death of a nation.
