INTRO
(Heavy snare drum cadence builds up, field boots marching in rhythm)
(Fife melody enters)
[VERSE 1]
(Call) Sound the drum and lift the tread!
(Response) Sound the drum and lift the tread!
(Call) Break the chains of tyrant's bread!
(Response) Break the chains of tyrant's bread!
(Call) From the hills and valley low!
(Response) From the hills and valley low!
(Call) Together march to meet the foe!
(Response) Together march to meet the foe!
[CHORUS]
(All Voices - Full Chorus)
Sound the drum for liberty,
Brothers, sisters, standing free!
No crown shall rule, no king shall reign,
We break the yoke, we break the chain!
[VERSE 2]
(Call) Feed the poor and heal the weak!
(Response) Feed the poor and heal the weak!
(Call) Justice for the bold and meek!
(Response) Justice for the bold and meek!
(Call) Side by side we clear the way!
(Response) Side by side we clear the way!
(Call) Dawn breaks on a fairer day!
(Response) Dawn breaks on a fairer day!
[CHORUS]
(All Voices - Full Chorus)
Sound the drum for liberty,
Brothers, sisters, standing free!
No crown shall rule, no king shall reign,
We break the yoke, we break the chain!
[BRIDGE]
(Drum cadence slows to steady roll, Fife solo)
(Call - Spoken/Shouted) Equal law for high and low!
(Response) Equal law for high and low!
(Call - Spoken/Shouted) Bound in heart through frost and snow!
(Response) Bound in heart through frost and snow!
[VERSE 3]
(Call) Hand in hand we heal the land!
(Response) Hand in hand we heal the land!
(Call) United now as one we stand!
(Response) United now as one we stand!
(Call) Freedom ring over wood and stone!
(Response) Freedom ring over wood and stone!
(Call) Every soul shall claim their own!
(Response) Every soul shall claim their own!
[OUTRO]
(All Voices - Building Power)
Freedom, justice, equal light!
Marching onward through the night!
(Lead Call) Left, right, hold the line!
(Response) Freedom's light shall ever shine!
(Snare drum solo finishes with final brass accent, footsteps fade)
