The song is a tribute to two anarchists of Italian origin, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti that were sentenced to death by a United States court in the 1920s. The consensus of critical opinion has concluded since that the ruling was based on abhorrence to their anarchist political beliefs rather than on any proof that they committed the robbery and murders they were accused of. The case is known as the Sacco and Vanzetti Affair. The lyrics are taken from an actual letter by Bartolomeo Vanzetti: Father, yes, I am a prisoner. Fear not to relay my crime. The crime is loving the forsaken. Only silence is shame. Heres to you, Nicola and Bart Rest forever here in our hearts The last and final moment is yours That agony is your triumph
