Battlecry

Gu Djin

Inspired by the book “Freedom and Death” by Nikos Kazantzakis

Battlecry – Freedom and Death

Our arms are the mountains and the crags
Our ammunition in our hearts
Not the ancient swords and muskets we tote
Against all odds

The light of the day we shun – not for fear
But our might swells when the dusk draws near
This battle we will never win
But how can we lose when the enemy tremble at our cry

Our battlecry
Freedom
Freedom and death
Freedom and death
Freedom and death

When we climb from the hill – to the sea
The lights in the harbour – glint on the water
But the enemy never knows where we will be
Where we will die today

Freedom
Our battle cry is freedom and death
Freedom and death
Freedom and death
