about

The legend of Azdak grows. Then, Azdak finds himself on the wrong side of the revolution.

lyrics

To feed the starving people,
He broke laws like we break bread.
There on the seat of justice with the gallows over his head.
For more than 700 days he calmed their wails.
Oh, oh, oh Azdak measures with false scales!
Two summers and two winters,
A poor man judged the poor.
And on the wreck of justice
He brought them safe to shore.
For he spoke a language the mob can understand.
I, I, I, cried Azdak, take bribes from empty hands.

Then the era of disorder ended. The Duke returned.
The Governors wife returned too.
A judgement was held.
Many people died.
The suburbs burned anew
And fear seized Azdak.
