Lyrics:
Rather Die Than Be Your Slave
I do not wish this life to pass away
But life presents such possibilities - Each and every day
I heard a calling that was right for me
I prayed for strength for what's a head of me - Please show me the way
The sun rose high and burnt the night away
Who stood before me was my enemy - Don't tread on me
He's come to take away my liberties
I'd rather die than be a slave to thee - Don't treat me this way
CHORUS: I'd rather die than be your slave
I will survive, and you'll feel my rage
Its not a question of being brave
I'd just rather die, than be your slave
CHORUS
It didn't matter who shot first that day
They killed my brothers, they laid dead by me - I'm covered in their blood
We hit them hard we made them pay that day
We hung the traitors from the highest trees - No mercy from me
We lost a lot our pain was heavy
We sacrificed for GOD and country - No more colony
Still held the ground that was in front of me
This was our price to pay for liberty - Still you hear me say
CHORUS
Much time has past, we repeat history
Our toys have changed while man has stayed the same - Evil in his ways
Tribal families rule not over me
I will not let them rape our liberties - We'll die for them today

"You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation
as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases
which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence."
Charles Austin Beard (1874 - 1948)
