[Intro] (Deep bass rumble, distant fiddle, stomping boots) [Verse 1] They can build their walls, they can chain the gate They can sell us fear and call it fate But a fire still burns beneath the dust And a free-born heart will not learn to trust [Pre-Chorus] Raise your voice, let the silence break There’s a line in the ground that we will not forsake [Chorus] Freedom is the highest good The sacred flame misunderstood We will not surrender, we will not kneel We’ll fight for the right to choose and feel Through the blood, through the rain, through the danger and pain Freedom is worth every scar we gain [Verse 2] From the green hills down to the border line Every road remembers a harder time The old songs rise with the rebel drum Calling every lost soul home to come [Pre-Chorus] Raise your glass, let the wild bells ring There’s a price for a life, but freedom’s everything [Chorus] Freedom is the highest good The sacred flame misunderstood We will not surrender, we will not kneel We’ll fight for the right to choose and feel Through the blood, through the rain, through the danger and pain Freedom is worth every scar we gain [Bridge] No king, no chain, no hand above Can take the birthright that we love If the night comes down and the road turns cold We’ll carry the fire our fathers told [Instrumental Break] (Furious fiddle solo, distorted guitar, bodhrán, massive sub-bass, stomping crowd) [Final Chorus] Freedom is the highest good The highest truth a soul ever could We will not surrender, we will not kneel This is the only oath we feel Through the blood, through the rain, through the danger and pain Freedom is worth every scar we gain [Outro] Freedom! Freedom! The highest good— And worth the fight!
