lyrics

The dagger pierces through the skin and burns a hole inside
We've all lost more than we can bear
But we will not resign

Blue coats of freedom carry us home
Blue coats of freedom carry me home
Its not for nothing that we give our lives
Its not for nothing we've got God on our side

The snake is hiding in the grass venom in his fangs
But the eagle's flying in the sky with vengenence in her veins

Give me liberty or give me death
Give me liberty or give me death
Its not for nothing that we give our lives
Its not for nothing we've got God on our side

Blue coats of freedom carry us home
Blue coats of freedom carry me home
Blue coats of freedom carry me home
Blue coats of freedom carry us home
