Through precepts
Story preserved
And passed down
Of triumph well
treasured
Victory so value
It’s worth and cost
Freedom fought for
Heroes who stood for it
And heroes who fell for
it
How the shackles where
shattered
The bleed and the plead
The treads and the
treaties
The Valiant and the
vanquish
Pass down to you
Put in your hands
What have you done
To maintain and sustain
this freedom
I see it gradually washed
Washed away
By the flood of strife
I see it gradually swept
Swept away
By the wind of deception
You stretch your hands
And that of your fellow
countrymen again
To same shackles of
slavery
You were liberated from
For your vain gain
Gain of the moment
Think again
Think!!!
