On 22nd September the Stay Human Project posted this video on YouTube

Interview on Radio Adelaide 
“Stephen Darley interviews anti-imperialists Helen Lawrie and Phil Davies about the concerted campaign by governments against Julian Assange because of his revelations of their war-mongering, dirty tricks and lies. Also discussed is the way traditional media and some on the liberal-left have collaborated to smear and silence Assange and the efforts to free him.”

Lyrics

like a movie
flickering in blue and grey
like a movie
you can’t take your eyes away

1.

here’s a man in the nose of a beast
a magic camera on his eye
they’re not men he sees before him
just pixels floating by

his eyes narrow on the target
his finger is the boss
seven men go to the dust they came from
underneath his cross like a movie

2.

and here’s a man on an aeroplane
his eyes are warm, his eyes are closed
weary from too much seeing,
from 10 years on this road

they took his son, they took his freedom
took away his space to think
they took his walls and moved them closer
they pushed him to the brink

like a movie
flickering in blue and grey
like a movie
betrayal’s only one frame away

3.

and here’s a hawk, in front of an eagle
three colours tattooed on it’s chest
his eyes are flint, his heart is granite
cos uncle knows what’s best

there’s talk of a man who’s said too much
talk of a man who’s sealed his fate
talk of a bounty for the one who brings
his head upon a plate like a movie

4.

and now here’s a man in a tiny cell
his tired face is gaunt and pale
he walks ten thousand steps each day
the santiago trail

his hair is white, the spider’s eyes were black
the mighty web was a thing of awe he went in deep,
he couldn’t come back
but he showed us what he saw

like a movie
flickering in blue and grey
like a movie dignity
will hold no sway

and when the dawn breaks, and the mist clears
you can watch the final scene, if you dare
one man in front of an army, all alone

and his man, what’s he going to do now?
and what about you, what are you going to do now?
are you going to sit there, and keep on watching?
cos if we all got up we could stop this movie
don’t you think it’s time we stopped this movie?

like a movie
flickering in blue and grey
like a movie
we can’t let it end this way

Lyrics

There’s a light in Belmarsh Prison
Going out on a solitary man
Set the world on fire
With the truth about the Promised Land
Ooh Julian Jailed by evil men
Ooh Julian Prisoner of the damned
These diabolical schemers
Vile vampires drawin’ your blood
These demons you showed us
We know their countries and their clubs
They hide you like their secrets
They want us to forget
Hoping you will die soon We pray Not yet
Ooh Julian You were jailed by evil men
Ooh Julian prisoner Prisoner of the damned
And these bleeders of the free world
At the wheel of the war machine
You showed the truth’s their weakness
Now they’re killing all our dreams
They hide you like their secrets
They want us to forget
Hoping you will die Ooh we pray not yet
Ooh oh Julian Jailed by evil men
Ooh Julian Prisoner of the damned
There’s a light in Belmarsh Prison
Going out on a solitary man
Set the world on fire
With the truth about the Promised Land
Ooh Julian You’re jailed by evil men
Ooh Julian Prisoner of the damned

Catch Assange is Daniel Devita’s new song about the founder of WikiLeaks; Julian Assange.
In the lyrics, the artist personifies those who saw his crimes exposed by this organization and his plan to silence it and punish its creator.

Language is Spanish

Lyrics ( English )

Freedom on the Internet. Who dares to think of that? 
If there is transparency we will be in trouble. 
Our dirt must remain in the shadows. 
Who does this guy who names us think he is? 
That is the main thing, We are the elite, 
We won’t let the triumph be for Wikileaks. 
That a pretentious bug becomes David 
And throws a stone at us that marks the end. 
Get Assange, there will be no forgiveness 

Another filtration, another nation discovers 
Our thirst for blood, this is unhealthy. 
Create lawsuits, cry out for his detention 
No one will hit the pause or end to censorship. 
Another web is knit, without our moves 
And this evil Correa now protects him. 
They will suffer, they will pay, they will bear the Cross, 
They will, for every plan that comes to light. 
Get Assange, there will be no forgiveness 

We will make him pay for every leak. 
We bought the lentejero that remains in the presidency and 
Gave us the leader of the resistance, yes 
We will put an end to honest journalism 
If the people are silent, we will continue with the rest 
If they don’t claim for their heroes 
We already have written the end of the show. 
Forget justice, don’t fight for your dreams 
That way, we will continue to be the owners 

Owners, owners, owners, we own everything 
Owners, owners, owners, we own everything 
Owners / Owners / Owners 
Owners / Owners / Owners 
Because you allow it.

Lyrics

Julian Assange did nothing wrong 
Showed us how the world’s going wrong  
HOU HOU HOU 
Act with a littl’ empathy 
HOU HOU HOU Mrs Judge 
Show us your humanity 

Told us the truth like Jesus 
Please Mrs Judge listen to us 
HOU HOU HOU  
Act with a littl’ empathy 
HOU HOU HOU Mrs Judge 
Keep up your dignity 

Wistleblowers flower brokers 
Taking risks as soldiers do 
HOU HOU HOU 
Don’t you hear the inmate’s crying 
HOU HOU HOU 
Don’t you see the inmate’s dying 
After all for us he’s fighting 

The howling wolves warn the world 
They howl and howl but aren’t heard 
Hou hou hou Julian Assange, 
Hou hou hou Edward Snowden 
Hou hou hou 
Chelsea Manning, 
Hou hou hou…

Lyrics Translated from German

This is for Julian Assange
And every Pioneer
Who is incarcerated right now
For freedom of speech
For the truth
For all of us
For Assange!

This is for Julian Assange and every pioneer
Who fights for freedom, ignored by it
Who bleeds for the truth, in the way of beeing
discredited and tortured, incarcerated
For all the brave people who risk everything
Who speak up when the rest is silent and lose everything
For all those muzzled, forgotten fellas
Who remind us of freedom, forgotten in cells
Those who stand up for something because it’s right
Because it’s important, because without their lives are void
Rare such people, almost more like heroes
But they usually have to die before we realize how rare they are
Therefore it is important to remember them
Cause they are a ray of hope when it comes to righting injustice.
So let’s not be silent, now is the chance!
Say: Freedom for truth and Julian Assange!!

Freedom for truth and Julian Assange!
So let’s not be silent, now is the chance!
Say: Freedom for truth and Julian Assange!!

I was checking out Kenfm the other day, on easy at the side while cleaning
using the time getting informations, for sure worth seeing
And they’re talking about Wikileaks
Where they give whistle-blowers a platform to blow their whistle
As about Americans in disgusting wars
Firing at civilians from helicopters
Riddling them with bullets, reporters among them
Children among them, who did not deserve those bullets
In 2010 everything is published on Wikileaks
So Assange became a target to the Yankees
At the latest by then they want his ass
locked up forever for hacking and national treason
But which national treason?! Assange is Australian!
Who, at most, had visited the US before
And which hacking?! That shit got leaked!
By upright Americans like Snowdon, Mannings
But they don’t care!
Some even want his death, requested many times
Fortunately he’s in Sweden at the time
Out of Range, he tries to live safely
But as if?! The stress is just starting
Cause shortly after two women acusse him of sexual harassment
What a coincidence! So they lock him up
But a little later he is released again
Due to lack of evidence, doubts and again
the Yanks are raging, want him extradited
And because the Swedes won’t guarantee him not to do it
he is escaping before they arrest him
Off to England! But the pressure is still increasing
And slowly not much remains as a refuge,
So he seeks for asylum in London
at the embassy of Ecuador – What don’t you do in times of need?!
And they take him in, from zero 12 to zero 19 he doesn’t get out
7 years of being trapped in a room, that wears you down
Always in the house/ at some point you have to get out or it burns you out
And you will die there, in isolation
But Still, it’s better than what the Yankees threatened him with
But you could see it in his face, all those years of captivity
All those years, damn it! How quickly they passed
Fuck! And outside also years went by
Enough to forget those you owe truth to
And I admit I almost forgot him, too
Until that day I hear Ken Jebsen reporting
That Assang’s asylum is now invalid
Cause Ecuador’s new president is not supporting it anymore
Cause he thinks good deals are in the offing
with the Yanks if he gives him to them
Which means bad luck for Assange, cause
the Brits come get him and lock him up immediatly
And as it seems, into the worst hole
Where he’s been stuck for months, with nasty thugs
Experts and doctors, were now allowed to see him
And they report his condition is extreme
Cause he shows serious signs of torture
And if this continues for a while longer
He will die away
And if they hand him over, the Yankees will finish him

So let’s not be silent, now is the chance!
Say: freedom for truth and Julian Assange!!

This is for Julian Assange, and every pioneer
Who fights for freedom, ignored by it
Who bleeds for the truth, in the way of beeing
discredited and tortured, incarcerated
For all the brave people who risk everything
Who speak up when the rest is silent and lose everything
For all those muzzled, forgotten fellas
Who remind us of freedom, forgotten in cells
Those who stand up for something because it’s right
Because it’s important, because without their lives are void
Rare such people, almost more like heroes
But they usually have to die before we realize how rare they are
Therefore it is important to remember them
Because they are a ray of hope when it comes to righting injustice
So let’s not be silent, now is the chance!
Say: freedom for truth and Julian Assange!!

Freedom for truth and Julian Assange!
So let’s not be silent, now is the chance!
Say: freedom for truth and Julian Assange!!

Lyrics

Behind these prison walls there’s a man who’s won awards
For the work that he has done and all that it affords
Such as the knowledge of the horrors committed in our name
They can’t stop the message, so the messenger gets blamed

Behind these prison walls, in solitary confinement
In a land of rolling hills and royalty and other such refinement
Is someone who is a hero to whistleblowers everywhere
Who helped them tell the world of the crimes of Tony Blair

Behind these prison walls you will find a mortal man 
The reason why we know what happened in Afghanistan
When the soldiers of the empire whose sun set long before
Were torturing civilians in their terror war

Behind these prison walls is a part of Wikileaks
An eloquent orator, but you won’t hear him speakh
Locked away in silence, one who knows too well 
How those in power act when there’s another war to sell 

Behind these prison walls is one who stands accused
Of exactly what offenses, the US has refusedT
o say precisely which, or to try to clear the mist
Or to explain how he’s not the same as other journalists

Behind these prison walls is a person they’d deprive
Of most of the things in life that keep us all alive
A person being tortured, as we stand here now
For revealing the war crimes – why, when, where, how

Behind these prison walls, our very right to be informed 
Of what the hell is going on is the teacup in this storm
With knowledge there is power, so the solution by the Crown
A 24-hour-a-day, indefinite lockdown

Behind these prison walls
