Last Act Of Defiance Lyrics - Bound For Glory

The battered knight stood upon the hill 

He catches his breath for a moment while everything is still 

He's battled for days, he knows he hasn't much left 

He knows his end is coming, yet he'll die with no regrets 

 

Against the injustices of his land 

He'll see the reigning guard die by his hand 

If he fails at least he dies trying 

For his ideals it was worth dying 

 

The farmer stood beside the knight 

Armed with a pitchfork and a scythe 

He didn't want to pay his taxes anymore 

He was sick of seeing the rich feed off the poor 

The collectors came and tried to rob him blind 

He refused to pay his taxes, they called it a crime 

He ran them off, sent them penniless without a thing 

He was the first man not to pay the king 

 

Chorus: 

It's the last act of defiance 

A union against the king and the crown 

Side by side they would die together 

United together to bring the system down 

 

Together in unison they marched on the king 

With a roar outlawed songs they would sing 

The revolt is in motion, they have to be brave 

For they'd rather die as free men than to live as slaves 

 

(Repeat Chorus) x2
