Seems Like an Appropriate Time For This



Rather Die Than Be Your Slave

by Poker Face

I do not wish this life to pass away
But life presents such possibilities - Each and every day
I heard a calling that was right for me
I prayed for strength for what’s a head of me - Please show me the way

The sun rose high and burnt the night away
Who stood before me was my enemy - Don’t tread on me
He’s come to take away my liberties
I’d rather die than be a slave to thee - Don’t treat me this way

CHORUS: I’d rather die than be your slave
I will survive, and you’ll feel my rage
Its not a question of being brave
I’d just rather die, than be your slave

CHORUS

It didn’t matter who shot first that day
They killed my brothers, they laid dead by me - I’m covered in their blood
We hit them hard we made them pay that day
We hung the traitors from the highest trees - No mercy from me

We lost a lot our pain was heavy
We sacrificed for GOD and country - No more colony
Still held the ground that was in front of me
This was our price to pay for liberty - Still you hear me say

CHORUS

Much time has past, we repeat history Our toys have changed while man has stayed the same - Evil in his ways
Tribal families rule not over me
I will not let them rape our liberties - We’ll die for them today

Wake alone in the hills
With the wind in your face
It feels good to be proud
And be free and a race that is part of a clan
To live on highlands
The air that you breathe
So pure and so clean
When alone on the hills
With the wind in your hair
And a longing to feel
Just to be free
Is it right to believe
In the need to be free
It's a time when you die
And without asking why
Why can't you see what they do
They are grinding us down
They are taking our land
That belongs to the clans
Not alone with a dream
Just a want to be free
With a need to belong
I am a clansman
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
It's a time wrought with fear
It's a land wrought with change
Ancestors could hear what is happening now
They would turn in their graves
They would all be ashamed
Land of the free has written in chains
And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I'll take what is mine
I am the clansman
And I swear to defend
I'll fight to the end
Know that I'll never be taken alive
I know that we'll stand
I'll fight for the land
I swear that my bairns
Will be born free
And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I'll take what is mine
I am the clansman
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
No, no we can't let them take anymore
No we can't let them take anymore
We're the land of the free
No hey, no we can't let them take anymore
No we can't let them take anymore
We're the land of the free
No, no we can't let them take anymore
No we can't let them take anymore
No we can't let them take anymore
We're the land of the free
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
It's a time wrought with fear
It's a land wrought with change
If our ancestors could hear what is happening now
They would turn in their graves
They would all be ashamed
The land of the free Has been written in chains
And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I'll take what is mine
I am the clansman
And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I'll take what is mine
I am the clansman
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I'll take what is mine
I am the clansman

Prophetic. Simply prophetic.
