Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You’ve been bound, you’ve been broken,
Kept in chains, never spoken,
But the light, it is woken,
And the dawn is callin’ you!

[Chorus]
Rise up, ye naked peoples!
Tear down the tyrant’s halls!
Justice is a fire burnin’,
Freedom rings, heed the call!

[Verse 2]
They have ruled with their thunder,
Struck us down, pulled us under,
But the storm wakes our hunger,
And the skies begin to roar!

[Chorus]
Rise up, ye naked peoples!
Tear down the tyrant’s halls!
Justice is a fire burnin’,
Freedom rings, heed the call!

[Bridge]
Marchin’ now, hear us cryin’!
Stars above, never dyin’!
All their thrones, we’re defyin’,
We are free forevermore!

[Final Chorus]
Rise up, ye naked peoples!
Tear down the tyrant’s halls!
Justice is a fire burnin’,
Freedom rings, heed the call!
