[Verse 1] They drilled our veins, they bled us dry, Black gold rivers under prairie skies. Ottawa’s hand, always takin’ more, We fed their feast, while we stayed poor. But a storm rolls in, and the wind won’t bow, The heart of the West beats harder now. [Chorus] Chains are snapping, hear that sound, Alberta’s rising, breaking ground. No more takin’, no more lies, Freedom’s flag in the northern skies. [Verse 2] Equalization, they called it fair, But the weight of the East was ours to bear. They taxed our sun, they taxed our rain, Built their thrones on our hard-earned pain. But a fire burns where the Rockies climb, A land that won’t kneel, it’s our time. [Prechorus] Storm clouds breaking, skies turn wide, The march to freedom, we won’t hide. [Chorus] Chains are snapping, hear that sound, Alberta’s rising, breaking ground. No more takin’, no more lies, Freedom’s flag in the northern skies. [Bridge] The guns they seized, the words they chained, Families crushed beneath their reign. But we’re the thunder, we’re the plains, A sovereign voice they can’t contain.
