Rise Up, You Naked Peoples (Freedom Rings)
Victor Hugo would approve. Rise up, ye naked peoples. Freedom rings. Heed the call.
Marchin’ now, hear us cryin’! / Stars above, never dyin’!
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!
