Iced Earth - Declaration Day lyrics

A desperate situation Forced to retaliation The task ahead, a burden Men will suffer, that's for certain We'll charge into the fire The cause, we must inspire We raise our fist to tyranny A high price, Freedom is not free The odds are stacked against us But with our resolve relentless And arrogance their Weakness Our cause is just, we won't be beaten Upon this declaration Will come a brand new nation Where men are seen as equal Governed by and for the people Chorus So we make our stand and pray On this declaration day For independence I will fight With liberty I will defy So we make our stand and pray On this declaration day Give me liberty or give me d**h I'll fight 'till my last breath With virtue as our beacon Our cause is charged as treason Battle worn and starving Through the hell of war we'll keep marching The birth of our new nation An act of desperation We'll force king George down o his knees Capitulation Repeat Chorus
