[Intro] [Verse 1] Black smoke on the ridgeline Flags still flying through the rain They come with empty promises We answer with a name No chains, no red star rising No boot upon this ground We were born with powder and steel And we will not be found [Chorus] We are the free and the armed We are the ones who stay Life and liberty written in blood And we will not give way Fuck the red and the empty words Fuck the ones who kneel This land was bought with powder and fire And it will never yield [Verse 2] They talk of peace while loading rounds They smile while digging graves We keep the rifles clean and ready And the names of those we save From the hollow to the high ground From the city to the plain An armed society stands its watch And it does not break or bend [Chorus] We are the free and the armed We are the ones who stay Life and liberty written in blood And we will not give way Fuck the red and the empty words Fuck the ones who kneel This land was bought with powder and fire And it will never yield [Bridge] No masters in the darkness No commissars at the door We bury tyrants where they stand And we remember every score The Constitution is not a suggestion The Second is not a plea We are the last line standing And we do not retreat [Chorus] We are the free and the armed We are the ones who stay Life and liberty written in blood And we will not give way Fuck the red and the empty words Fuck the ones who kneel This land was bought with powder and fire And it will never yield [Outro] We will not yield We will not yield
