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

  1. 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

    "If our ancestors could hear what is happening now

    Prophetic. Simply prophetic.
