Epoch Times: August 6, 2007 - The Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG)—consisting of more than 300 public officials, lawyers, doctors, religious leaders, and human rights advocates—unveiled the logo and theme song for its "Human Rights Torch Relay." The Coalition plans to ignite a human rights torch in Athens, Greece, on August 9, 2007.
Since CIPFG published an ad for a logo design and a theme song several weeks ago, it has received hundreds of responses, including some from mainland China.
The logo's main component is a torch with a dove in front of it, representing freedom and a bright future. The background is a map of China outlined in barbed wire. The logo illustrates that China is a prison, and the torch of human rights will bring freedom and a bright future to the Chinese people.
The theme song is also refreshing and powerful. The composer is from Europe. The theme song is currently being recorded in multiple languages including English, German, French, Italian, and Japanese.
The lyrics are as follows:
Human Rights Torch
The sacred flame of the Olympics is lit from Mt Olympia
The Olympic flag, a wreath of olive branches
Cooperation, teamwork, brotherhood and friendship
Honor, glory and dedication
Peace and justice
Freedom and Human rights
The heavens and earth, mountains and seas
The spirit soars and the heart calls
May the consecrated Olympic flag
Be forever raised on high
Beijing Olympics Year 2008
The scent of blood hangs in the air
80 million ghosts paved to prosperity
The blood and tears of hundreds of millions spawned
extravagant palaces
Stop the persecution
Give back our rights
Shackles cannot replace the Olympic wreath
Let the human rights torch
Kindle the whole world
Blood cannot taint the Olympics' purity and sacredness
May the Human Rights Torch of freedom, peace and justice
light up the world forever.
