For Those that Trespass against usTell me my life is about to beginTell me that I am a hero,Promise me all of your violent dreamsLight up your body with anger.Now, in this ugly worldit is time to destroy all this evil.Now, when I give the wordget ready to fight for your freedomNow -Stand up and fight, for you know we are rightWe must strike at the liesThat have spread like disease through our minds.Soon we'll have power, every soldier will restAnd we'll spread out our kindnessTo all who our love now deserve.Some of you are going to die -Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide.I'll give you the names of those you must kill,All must die with their children.Carry their heads to the palace of old,Hang them high, let the blood flow.Now, in this ugly worldbreak all the chains around us,Now, the crusade has begungive us a land fit for heroes,Now -Stand up and fight, for you know we are rightWe must strike at the liesThat have spread like disease through our minds.Soon we'll have power, every soldier will restAnd we'll spread out our kindnessTo all who our love now deserve.Some of you are going to die -Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide.We are only wanting freedomWe are only wanting freedomWe are only wanting freedomWe are only wanting freedom ("Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom...")We are only wanting freedom ("Things are getting out of control here today")We are only wanting freedom ("OK men - fire over their heads!")We are only wanting freedom--- WE HAVE WON ---Some of you are going to die,
