Liberation

Liberation! The victor cried
 Liberation! He charged as the innocent died
 The festering wound, liberty's scar
 A city in ruins and the twisted rebar
 Liberation! The victor cried
 Liberation! At the end of a stick
 Liberation! Comes brutal and quick
 To a toothless old man and a bandaged child
 A hospital struck, a temple defiled
 Liberation comes brutal and quick
 Liberation!
 Liberation!
 Liberation! The victor sings
 From those who would dare to topple the king
 Peace in the streets when the smoke dispels
 He will christen this day when his enemies fell
 Liberation! The victor sings
 Liberation! The revelers fall
 To witness the rise of a glorious wall
 But every fence must have two sides
 You've seen it before, others have tried
 Liberation! The victor cried
 Liberation!
