Anthem

Topics: classic

Spirit of Liberty,     Wake in the Land!     Sons of our Forefathers,     Raise the strong hand!     Burn in each heart anew     Liberty's fires;     Wave the old Flag again,     Flag of our sires;     Glow all thy stars again,     Banner of Light!     Wave o'er us forever,     Emblem of might;     God for our Banner!     God for the Right!     Minions of Tyranny,     Tremble and kneel!     The sons of the Pilgrims     Are sharpening their steel.     Pledge for our Land again     Honor and life;     Wave the old Flag again;     On to the strife!     Shades of our Forefathers,     Witness our fright!     Wave o'er us forever,     Emblem of might;     God for our Banner!     God for our Right!
