1776
To arms Lads, to arms
Tis time to heave loose the chains,
Yet, they have but to soil our land
They come!
We must prepare to defeat them
No matter the cost in life,
For the cost of life
Is freedom
Freedom, from taxation and tyranny
Freedom, to choose to whom we pray,
Freedom, to choose how we live our lives
Take arms!
Soon they will land upon our shores
In mighty numbers, to oppress us further,
I call upon you, your sons
We fight!
Draw swords and take musket
When the red of their coats you see,
Make bloody, the fields they form
For Freedom!
I call upon you, my fellow Patriots
We must defend what is ours,
No longer, will we bend our knee
Revolution!
