Liberty or Death

They took our country from us,
They took our lands from us.
Yet could not chain our voice,
Nor silence freedom's poise.

They burnt our homes to dust,
They crushed our dreams unjust.
But still we rise with flame,
With liberty in name.

They're harming our people,
They're killing our lives.
They are the most punishable,
In depth of our eyes.

Are you people ready for
Liberty or death?
Our goal stands for
Liberty or death.

Our freedom is our breath,
Our oath is liberty or death.
We'll break their chain,
Or perish in the rain.
