PRE-CHORUS 1: PAIN (I know it) SHAME (I know it well) BUT PRIDE (I know it) STRENGTH (I know it well) ALL TOO FUCKING WELL...
CHORUS: AND THE SOUTH WILL RISE RISE UP...
[RISE...YOU TAKE MY HOME, AND REDUCE IT TO A TIRED, SATIRICAL, HILLBILLY REFERENCE...IT'S BEYOND OLD...(I abhor the fucking arrogance)]
VERSE 2: This rebel flag that I hold in my hand is not The racist mark of an ignorant man. It flies high for all of those who stand against any fool who'd impose Unchecked aggression...
PRE-CHORUS 2: PAIN (We know it) SHAME (We know it well) BUT PRIDE (We know it) STRENGTH (We know it well) GODDAMN IT ALL TOO WELL...
CHORUS: AND THE SOUTH WILL RISE RISE UP...
BRIDGE: ON GOING, UNDILUTED, BESTOWING; GIVING US THE RIGHT TO BE HERE...
MY PRIDE RUNS DEEPER THAN THESE MOUNTAINS HAVE HOLD... MAKE KNOWN, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THAT YOU ARE CHILDREN OF THIS LAND YOU BEHOLD...
