Its the birth of a new nation which caused devastation in its wake, You put your rifle on the floor to signify the truest end, The town-criers run outside and begin the ending chant, The people gather round and listen to these words. Raise your flag and the battles truly won, Bodies lie under the sun, When some say retribution you reply with revolution, When everything is gone and done. Handshakes and cheers fill the war torn streets, Commanders and generals and soldiers everywhere, A change for the better; it was stated in the letter, The people gather round and listen to these words. Raise your flag and the battles truly won, Bodies lie under the sun, When some say retribution your reply with revolution,
When everything is gone and done. Raise your flag and the battles truly won, Bodies lie under the sun, When some say retribution your reply with revolution, When everything is gone and done. In the end the revolution falls, You will come home and rise against the storm, The ones which stand and the ones that fall, Will be held forever til dawn. Raise your flag and the battles truly won, Bodies lie under the sun, When some say retribution your reply with revolution, When everything is gone and done. Raise your flag and the battles truly won, Bodies lie under the sun, When some say retribution your reply with revolution, When everything is gone and done.
