Lyrics
Am  G   Am   G

Am C  G  Am  C  G

Am                                G     C  G  Am

We come from the land of power and we won't go away

Am                              G   C  G   Am

Now is our shining hour so come join in the fray

C                             G

Battle lines are ready, their weapons are drawn

C                            D

The battle will begin at the dawn of the sun

Am  G   Am   G

Am C  G  Am  C  G

F         G                  C              D

You can shoot us, stab us, torture us and burn our village

F           G                C                 D

You can enslave us but you can't enslave our souls

F               G               C              D

We will stand tall and not conform to your administration

F             G               Am

We will not bow to your control

Am  G   Am   G

Am C  G  Am  C  G

You can shoot us, stab us, torture us and burn our village

You can enslave us but you can't enslave our souls

We will stand tall and not conform to your administration

We will not bow to your control
