Liberty
Hold the torch above your head and lean into the wind
Press those that do not see the light, let the battle now begin
Ignorance, intolerance, the colors of their flag
Their might exposed through woeful prose
The sword of greed they drag
Stand to fight the seething wave of treason's foul allies
Joining hands in fevered bands, their souls lost in reprise
Independence, autonomy, they relentlessly repugn
How dark the blight that shades this light
Our fathers' blood has won
