Declaration Day lyrics

A desperate situation

Forced to retaliation

The task ahead a burden

Men will suffer, that's for certain

We'll charging to 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

An arrogance their weakness

Our cause is just, we won't be beaten

Upon this deceleration

Will come a grand new nation

Where men are seen as equal

Governed by and for the people

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 death

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 to his knees

Capitulation

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 death

I'll fight 'till my last breath
