Tyranny Beneath This Western Sky
Every word, written by AI.
Verse 1
That nation across the ocean waves, with proud and boastful tongue,
Proclaims that we are bound as slaves, both elderly and young.
They send their ships across the sea to chain our native land,
But we shall rise, forever free, an army strong and grand!
Chorus
Torn from a world of tyranny beneath this western sky,
We'll spurn the chains of cruel power, and live discharge or die!
Lift up your heads, brave brothers all, let freedom fill the air,
For no dictator’s iron rule shall strike us with despair!
Verse 2
Our fathers braved the stormy deep to build a peaceful shore,
Where liberty its watch would keep, and justice reign evermore.
Shall we, their sons, surrender now the rights for which they bled?
Or let a foreign crown dictate where free men dare to tread?
Chorus
Torn from a world of tyranny beneath this western sky,
We'll spurn the chains of cruel power, and live discharge or die!
Lift up your heads, brave brothers all, let freedom fill the air,
For no dictator’s iron rule shall strike us with despair!
Verse 3
No heavy taxes, harsh and grand, shall strip our honest toil,
Nor standing armies march our streets upon our native soil!
We honor laws of righteous men, but tyranny we defy,
And beneath the flag of Liberty, we’ll conquer or we’ll die!
Chorus
Torn from a world of tyranny beneath this western sky,
We'll spurn the chains of cruel power, and live discharge or die!
Lift up your heads, brave brothers all, let freedom fill the air,
For no dictator’s iron rule shall strike us with despair!
Outro
Stand tall, stand brave, Free America!
Unbroken and bold, Free America!
Through every generation, freedom reigns!
