Bunker Hill

I'm going to lay my life down - this starry night I'll die.

Bleeding in the mud and blood - my dreams not realized.

I'll die tonight a rebel.

And slip into sublime.

I took a red coat bullet.

On Bunker Hill tonight.

I'll die

On Bunker Hill tonight.

For days we held the high ground - as cannons scarred the sky.

The haze was thick with screaming as my rebel brothers died.

I came here to fight for Boston.

And change the hands of time.

But now I lay here dying.

On Bunker Hill tonight.

I'll die

On Bunker Hill tonight.

The harbor was dense with warships - the water was red with death.

Through smoke and fire and flashes a lead ball crushed my chest.

I wanted to storm for freedom.

And tangle for something right.

I'm praying for reinforcements.

On Bunker Hill tonight.

I'll die

On Bunker Hill tonight.

We held the ground as long as we could - but we got barraged and tired.

Bravery our blinding force filled our hearts with desire.

The British troops are raging hell.

Marching in waves and lines.

Their soldiers fall but don't withdraw.

On Bunker Hill tonight.

I'll die

On Bunker Hill tonight.

I feel the sunshine laying me down - taking me from this fight.

I fought through fifteen hundred men and felt I was divine.

I'll cry farewell from the top of the hill.

And reach for the streaking light.

I'll die for the birth of liberty.

On Bunker Hill tonight.

I'll die.

On Bunker Hill tonight!
