Sons Of Liberty
(专辑: Poetry Of The Deed - 2009)
Once an honest man could go from sunrise to its set without encountering agents of his state or government. But a
sorry cloud of tyranny has fallen across the
land, brought on by the
hollow men, who did not understand that for centuries our forefathers have fought and often died to keep themselves unto themselves, to fight the
rising tide, and that if in the
smallest battles we surrender to the
state, we enter in a
darkness whence we never shall escape. Watt Tyler led the
people in 1381 to meet the
king at Smithfield and issue this demand: that Winchester's should be the
only law across the
land, the
law of old King Alfred's time, of free and honest men. Because the
people then they understood what we have since forgot: that governments will only work for their own benefit. And I'd rather stand up naked against the
elements alone than give the
hollow men the
right to enter in my home. When they raise their hands up our lives to possess, to know our souls, to drag us down, we'll resist. Stand up sons of liberty and fight for what you own. Stand up sons of liberty and fight, fight for your homes. So if ever a
man should ask you for your business, or your name, tell him to go and fuck himself, tell his friends to do the
same. Because a
man who'd trade his liberty for a
safe and dreamless sleep doesn't deserve the
both of them, and neither shall he keep.
