This ballade is written after the homocide on the dutch right-winged poltician Pim Fortuyn.
The 1st verse profiles Fortuyn as the person who would bring a huge change to dutch society, but who was brutaly put to silence by those who didn't shared his political visions. Also gives support to Fortuyn's case, stating that it was the truth.
The chorus basically says the same. Fortuyn moved political mountains and he faced the problems in society like no other did before him. And this was most impressive.
The 2nd verse refers to Fortuyn's party who are nothing without their leader.
The intro to the bridge states that dutch politics lost their innoscence on that day.
And the bridge tells us that this event will echo through dutch history and for long we will keep on feeling the consequences of this act.
Just a minor correction here, but Fortuyn wasn't a right-wing politician. He was very socially liberal, and hence wasn't a fan of the backward culture of Islam.
