Lyrics:

The night of fire is yet to come:
The tyrant shadow down the years
Demands we kneel or take the gun
And go shed blood instead of our tears.

Chorus:
So rejoice, Columbia's sons, rejoice!
To tyrants never bend the knee,
But pledge your heart and hand and voice
To Jefferson and Liberty.

Every twenty years, he said.
The time is ten times overpast
To raise rebellion's fiery head
And cast off tyranny's shell at last!

(Chorus)

No man is good nor wise enough
To rule another, or disown
The rights of every woman and man
To live and let live and be left alone.

(Chorus)

The starry banner that did fly
O'er freedom's bloody barricade
Now flaps and fades in foreign skies
Or palaces that Empire made.

Alt. chorus:
So arise, Columbia's sons, arise!
Arise that you might yet be free,
Cast off the forces that made lies
Of Jefferson and Liberty.

The world that once in hope did watch
A struggle for democracy
Cries: “Have Columbia's sons forgot
Jefferson and Liberty?”

(Alt. chorus)

But we, the heirs of Jefferson,
Like ancient Sons of Liberty,
Will bear in need the rebel's gun
And never bow to tyranny.

(Alt. chorus)
