zack jolet - harper's ferry lyrics

Loading...

we’re ridin’ down that windin’ road
where revolution lies
we’re ridin’ out to meet our destiny
we’re ridin’ down that windin’ road
hear our battle cry
it ain’t no sin to fight to be free

we fought them down in kansas
with our bible clasped in hand
with courage bold we drove the slavers out
but in the aftermath we saw
the truth about this land
it’s blood for blood was we began to shout
and through the shedding of our blood
and through force of our arms
the slave will be set free, i have no doubt

we’re ridin’ down that windin’ road
where revolution lies
we’re ridin’ out to meet our destiny
we’re ridin’ down that windin’ road
hear our battle cry
it ain’t no sin to fight to be free

there were only a few dozen of us
we’d hoped there would be more
on a sunday night we rode against the foe
it was to be the first strike
in a revolutionary war
we didn’t know how badly things would go
we expected reinforcements
but reinforcements never came
so one by one we fell like gentle snow

we’re ridin’ down that windin’ road
where revolution lies
we’re ridin’ out to meet our destiny
we’re ridin’ down that windin’ road
hear our battle cry
it ain’t no sin to fight to be free

they took some of our men prisoner
others they simply k!lled
and questioned us for ours in the cold
the nation scoffed at what we’d done
that we’d die upon this hill
that we were madmen, k!llers, traitors, we were told
but even though john brown
lies mould’rin’ in his grave
his truth doth marcheth on so free and bold

we’re ridin’ down that windin’ road
where revolution lies
we’re ridin’ out to meet our destiny
we’re ridin’ down that windin’ road
hear our battle cry
it ain’t no sin to fight to be free
