Freedom's Flame

(album: Southern Stars - 1984)

There is a time a'coming
The tribes and clans will rise
They'll have thunder in their hearts
They'll have lightning in their eyes
The pipe and the drum will be calling
Calling once again
Stand beside your brothers
All ye, that are men

Let freedom's flame burn so bright
That all, all the world will see
Let freedom's flame burn so bright
That it shines, shines down on you and me

They'll be sending out the soldiers
To stamp the fires out
Then we must burn more brightly
We'll lift our voices and shout
It'll be a time for axe 'n' sword
And battle flags will wave
There'll be a haunting sound in the hills
Calling out the brave

Let freedom's flame burn so bright
That all, all the world will see
Let freedom's flame burn so bright
That it shines, shines down on you and me
Let it shine

Oh but the women will weep
And the children will fret
'Cause they know the price will be dear
But they understand that it's better to die free
Than live a life of fear

Let freedom's flame burn so bright
That all, all the world will see
Let freedom's flame burn so bright
That it shines, shines down on you and
