Actors of Foreign Bodies show (Project Arts Centre, 22 July - 3 August) singing Mury (Walls).

Mury (Walls) was a sung poetry protest song written by Polish singer Jacek Kaczmarski in 1978. In People's Republic of Poland, in the early eighties of 20th century it became a symbol of the opposition to the communist regime. It became popular among the protesting workers of Solidarity Movement and students. It was accepted nationwide as the unofficial anthem of Solidarity.

Lyrics - Mury (Walls):

Walls

He was inspired and young, in front of the countless mass
He gave them strength with his song singing that dawn was near
They lighted thousands of candles for him and smoke rose over their heads
He sang it was time for the wall to fall and they sang together with him

Rip the bars out of the wall
Tear off the chain and break the whip
The walls will crumble crumble crumble
And will bury the old world
