The hammer forges binding chains
The sickle draws blood from my veins
I look off into distant skies
All I see is the red they force into my eyes
The pressure hastens my demise
Ive heard theres so much more
Calling me to freedoms shore
Should I entice such deadly fate
I crawl the ground in rabid flight
Blazing eyes search through the night
Razor wire of gleaming steel
Ten thousand volts the coiled blades conceal
I sense the dogs are on my heal
Cant tell my sweat from tears
A shadowed figure laughs and rears his head
Can be this the end
So many times when they have dreamed
Ive sat atop the eagles wings
Across this land he flies so great and free
And there a lovely lady stands
She lights my way with torch in hand
She stands for liberty - and the free
Beyond the wall I run for life
Gunfire burning up the night
Ive got to make a hundred yards
I know that they can only go so far
The blood of freedom now pumps through
my heart
Sweet freedom up ahead
I thought for sure I would be dead
Instead Im free
So many times when they have dreamed
Ive sat atop the eagles wings
Across this land he flies so great and free
And there a lovely lady stands
She lights my way with torch in hand
She stands for liberty - and the free
