Original Lyrics
What shall the Confederate's watchword be?

Fighting for our Confederacy, and for her liberty,

Bearing our Starred ensign o'er the blooded land,

shedding his blood for our Confederate home.

For freedom and honour,

he's bravely gone,

his freedom and glory do urge him on,

then shall the Confederate's's watchword be:

"Give me a grave of a hero or liberty!"

Liberty!

Liberty!

A grave of a hero or liberty!

Liberty!

Liberty!

A grave of a hero or liberty!

What shall the Confederate's watchword be?

Advancing the wondrous banner of our liberty,

bravely, he dashes amid the strife,

for God and Nation, for his child and wife!

His aims are noble, and his spirit is bright,

his sworn resolve is for our freedom fight,

then shall the Confederate's watchword be:

"Give me a grave of a hero or liberty!"

Liberty!

Liberty!

A grave of a hero or liberty!

Liberty!

Liberty!

A grave of a hero or liberty!

What shall the Confederate's watchword be?

Fighting our great battles against tyranny,

Holy the light in his patriot's soul,

his noble fight makes the tyrants scowl!

His enduring loyalty much bravery inspires,

such bravery fills us with a soldier's fire,

then shall the Confederate's watchword be:

"Give me a grave of a hero or liberty!"

Liberty!

Liberty!

A grave of a hero or liberty!

Liberty!

Liberty!

A grave of a hero or liberty!

The Separatist's Watchword
What shall the Separatist's watchword be?

Fighting for the Outer Rim, fighting for her liberty,

Bearing our blued ensign o'er the blooded land,

shedding his blood for our Confederate home.

For freedom and honour,

he's bravely gone,

sweet Liberty and glory do urge him on,

then shall the Separatist's watchword be:

"Give me a grave of a hero or liberty!"

Liberty!

Liberty!

A grave of a hero or liberty!

Liberty!

Liberty!

A grave of a hero or liberty!

What shall the Separatist's watchword be?

Advancing the wondrous banner of our liberty,

bravely, he dashes amid the strife,

for Home and Nation, for his child and wife!

His aims are noble, and his spirit is bright,

his sworn resolve is for our freedom fight,

then shall the Separatist's watchword be:

"Give me a grave of a hero or liberty!"

Liberty!

Liberty!

A grave of a hero or liberty!

Liberty!

Liberty!

A grave of a hero or liberty!

What shall the Separatist's watchword be?

Fighting our great battles against tyranny,

Holy the light in his patriot's soul,

his noble fight makes the tyrants scowl!

His enduring loyalty much bravery inspire,

such bravery fills us with a soldier's fire,

then shall the Separatist's watchword be:

"Give me a grave of a hero or liberty!"

Liberty!

Liberty!

A grave of a hero or liberty!

Liberty!

Liberty!

A grave of a hero or liberty!
