Bowing our heads for much too long We now search our place under the sun Living like slaves in our own homes We come to fight or to fall We have served the crown We have fought the wars We have proven ourselves Now we shall lead our own way Freedom was burning inside the hearts Challenging the powers The voice of the crowd echoing the walls Speaking out loud The right time has come to break down the yoke The freedom bell tolls Breaking the chains, breaking away We are breaking the chains, breaking away Go now, from this dawn till forevermore Marching on A thousand strong In dark alleys in the dead of the night We count the hours we are ready to fight Now or never we await the call Prepared to kill and prepared to die Before the sunrise we shall seal our fate Conquering the night to be born with the day Gathered round the fire under the moon of May Dying for freedom living for today The red of the dawn breaking through the dark The day of reckoning finally arrives We shall break the chains We shall be free again Or we'll die like warriors with our swords in our hands
