Liberation! The victor cried Liberation! He charged as the innocent died The festering wound, liberty's scar A city in ruins and the twisted rebar Liberation! The victor cried Liberation! At the end of a stick Liberation! Comes brutal and quick To a toothless old man and a bandaged child A hospital struck, a temple defiled Liberation comes brutal and quick Liberation! Liberation! Liberation! The victor sings From those who would dare to topple the king Peace in the streets when the smoke dispels He will christen this day when his enemies fell Liberation! The victor sings Liberation! The revelers fall To witness the rise of a glorious wall But every fence must have two sides You've seen it before, others have tried Liberation! The victor cried Liberation!
