Lyrics Iced Earth – Declaration Day
Text:
A desperate situation
Forced to retaliation
The task ahead a burden
Men will suffer, that’s for certain
The cause, we must inspire
We raise our fist to tyranny
A high price, freedom is not free
The odds are stacked against us
But with our resolve relentless
An arrogance their weakness
Our cause is just, we won’t be beaten
Upon this declaration
Will come a grand new nation
Where men are seen as equal
Governed by and for the people
Chorus:
So we make our stand and pray
On this Declaration Day
For independence I will fight
With liberty I will defy
So we make our stand and pray
On this Declaration Day
Give me liberty or give me death
I’ll fight ’till my last breath
With virtue as our beacon
Our cause is charged as treason
Battle worn and starving
Through the hell of war we’ll keep marching
The birth of our new nation
We’ll force King George down to his knees
Capitulation
Chorus:
So we make our stand and pray
On this Declaration Day
For independence I will fight
With liberty, I will defy
So we make our stand and pray
On this Declaration Day
Give me liberty or give me death
I’ll fight ’till my last breath
