Bound For Glory - Last Act Of Defiance Lyrics
The battered knight stood upon the hillHe catches his breath for a moment while everything is stillHe's battled for days, he knows he hasn't much leftHe knows his end is coming, yet he'll die with no regretsAgainst the injustices of his landHe'll see the reigning guard die by his handIf he fails at least he dies tryingFor his ideals it was worth dyingThe farmer stood beside the knightArmed with a pitchfork and a scytheHe didn't want to pay his taxes anymoreHe was sick of seeing the rich feed off the poorThe collectors came and tried to rob him blindHe refused to pay his taxes, they called it a crimeHe ran them off, sent them penniless without a thingHe was the first man not to pay the kingChorus:It's the last act of defianceA union against the king and the crownSide by side they would die togetherUnited together to bring the system downTogether in unison they marched on the kingWith a roar outlawed songs they would singThe revolt is in motion, they have to be braveFor they'd rather die as free men than to live as slaves(Repeat Chorus) x2
