Lyrics
''You can never win us back, Never! Never!''

though we perish in the pride of your endeavour,

our corpses may strew the earth that smiled upon our birth,

and our blood may plash about in its fervour.

We have risen 'gainst your band, stern and fearless,

of your tyranny and smite, we are careless,

every hand is on its knife, every rifle primed for strife,

every soul contains a spirit high and peerless.

We all may fall under the fire of your legions,

paid with your gold's murderous hire -- true allegiance?

But for every every drop you shed, to the Hall of the Glorious we head,

whilst the Vultures shall feed voraciously on your dead!

From you no such noble blood shall be shed,

in you the spirit of liberty is truly dead,

the East has no stately men, in its taxation den,

the land where tyranny ransoms your bread.

If you must fight for tyranny, please, do so,

though in these lands to tyranny we ne'er bow,

in our lands tyranny and tariffs shall find no welcome home,

and all the peddlers of such shall be lain down low!
