A group called the Strong Heroes Of Moscow released a rap video last week that satirizes the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, and the crackdown on his country’s uprising. Today, Al Jazeera published an English translation of the Arabic lyrics, which say that “freedom” is a “conspiracy coming from Mars.”

Here is an excerpt:

We’re going to fill all the cells, we’re going to fill all the prisons. We want to empty the Russian guns, for the sake of the Assadi nation.

Your name is always up there, your voice is heard up in the skies. Even if your own people starve to death we will elect you for eternity.

We don’t have one opinion, or two opinions. We have your light that blinds the eyes. You are our magnificent, you beautiful thing. You are the king of humanity!

The video relies on a stark palette of black Arabic lettering and blood-red illustrations, set against a white wall. Toward the end, blood splatters across newspaper pages, and finally onto the face of Hamza Ali al-Khateeb, a 13-year-old boy who became a symbol of government brutality when his mutilated body was returned to his family after he was arrested while protesting in the southern village of Jiza.

When the song is over, the video cuts to footage of men dressed in military gear beating a man who is on his knees.
