Land of the Brave - Philippines

I live in the land of the brave; Where the people was once held captive. Where everyone was nothing but a slave, To those by nature were deceptive. Our ancestors were brought to their knees, In their own country -their very own land. They were treated much like a disease, And most were executed just by command. To achieve freedom one must first die. They had to lay their lives on the line. Their enemies had an endless supply. They are traitorous and evil combine. Each fought for the freedom they desire, Yet they did not live to see the day. To the grounds soaked by blood they retire And deep within forever they will stay. They fought for their very own freedom, They died for their children's future. From the past we now hold the wisdom Of the asperity that they had to endure.
