Be Free lyrics

Let us not deceive ourselves, sir These are the implements of war and subjugation I know not what course others may take But as for me, give me liberty or give me death This is the story of your enslavement How it came to be And how you can finally be free Let us not deceive ourselves, sir These are the implements of war and subjugation I know not what course others may take But as for me, give me liberty or give me death What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear and peace so sweet As to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, almighty God I know not what course others may take But as for me, give me liberty or give me death
