Martin Luther King, Jr.: Mason Temple, ' I've Been to the Mountaintop' (April 3, 1968). Hundreds of thousands of marchers witnessed King plea for a future in which his children, and their children, would not be bound by their race. His years of training for church and excellent education make him not only articulate, but inspiring too. The now-beloved reverend and civil rights leader MLK was a master of rhetoric. Martin Luther King, Jr.: March on Washington, ' I Have a Dream' (August 28, 1963). He even spoke in German at parts, his famous line being 'I am a Berliner,' in an unmistakable Massachusetts accent. JFK mentions the ages-old 'I am a citizen of Rome,' relating it to democratic Germany instead. Just five months before his assassination, President Kennedy traveled to Berlin to reassure the citizens of West Berlin that they were approved of- and protected- by the United States. John Fitzgerald Kennedy: Speech to Berlin, ' Ich Bin Ein Berliner' (June 26, 1963). JFK's youth and enthusiasm, along with his many controversies, make his speeches even more remarkable in the eyes of history.Ĥ. His words stood in contrast to the legacy of his predecessor, Dwight Eisenhower, whose words hardly ever became so impassioned. Kennedy took the oath of office, inaugurating the age of Camelot in the United States that would see the makings of the Cold War. On a frigid January day, swashbuckling Massachusetts native John F. John Fitzgerald Kennedy: Inaugural Address, ' Ask Not What Your Country can do for You' (January 20, 1961). Less than an hour after the speech's delivery, Congress approved for the United States to formally join the Allies in WWII. He condemned the monstrosity that had occurred in Hawaii, an act by the 'Empire of Japan'. Years later, President Roosevelt took the podium in a Congress chamber to deliver a stern message not only to its members, but the American people. Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Pearl Harbor, ' A Date Which Will Live in Infamy' (December 8, 1941). It's 'From Yesterday' by 30 Seconds To Mars.2. Hello all, this is my first post, but this song has reminded me of Ender since the first time I heard it. Too deep now to ever swim against the current

I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself of the people who care if i live or die'Īnd vindicated made me think on Ender tooĪnd I am flawed, but I am cleaning up so well I said it's too late to apologize, a yeahĪll the souls that would die just to feel alive I said it's too late to apologize, yeah yeah It's too late to apologize, it's too late 'Sorry' like the angel heaven let me think was you I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late That it's too late to apologize, it's too late I think it like sort of represents how he feels towards either the hive queen or graffīecause its saying 'its too late to apologize' could be out of anger to graff or hes saying its too late to apologize to the hive queen The place that I was born, on the lakesideĪnd, of course, 'Ender's Game' by Ashcan Painters: I've changed my face, I've changed my name I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I imagine the song being sung from Achilles to Petra, who he sometimes called Pet. And besides, MJK so tight lipped about his words it's anyone's guess. They're not considered accurate and I don't hear 'choice assignments' anymore but I still like this connection. The lyrics above are what I heard when the idea popped into my head. Hold you and protect you from the other ones Keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of a war drums Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order andĬount the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

See, they don't give a f*** about you, like I do. Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils, They don't care about you, like I do, like I do I still harbor the idea that A Perfect Circle's song Pet is based on Shadow of the Hegemon.ĭon't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window He tried to ride on it but when it got up to speed his handhold became insubstantial and he flew off. If I remember right, Seiryu, one of the peculiarities of the playground for Ender was the merry-go-round. Hey I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah In this world we're livin' in we have our share of sorrowĪnswer now is don't give in aim for a new tomorrow Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks Well listen this night there'll be some action spent That's right here's where the talkin' ends You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by I'm takin' flight I said i'll never get enough 'You've Got Another Thing Comin'' by Judas Priest.

Doesn t remind me of anything lyrics
