Free People Are Brothers

"Free People Are Brothers"

Through smokey haze an energy contained 
Lost wand'ring souls, in fields their blood had stained. 

A battle fierce was fought by those now chained...
In death; as life, this Brotherhood remained.

Freedom's Cry, yet haunts above all others,
Still proclaiming, "Free people are brothers".
