Independence or Death

Taken prisoner by the governor, corruption runs in his blood
I will not bow to another man, don't feel like anyone should
Forced to shoot an apple off the head of my beloved son
An extra arrow in case I missed was for assassination

Rise against the fascist regime, independence or death
Don't back down from the fight of your life
Take aim, draw back, and shoot

We set sail on Lake Lucerne, I am bound in chains
The tyrant forces us to journey on through storm and pouring rain
The wind is strong and the waves are high, the sailors quake with fear
Then I am forced to take the wheel, my chains are loose and I steer

Rise against the fascist regime, independence or death
Don't back down from the fight of your life
Take aim, draw back, and shoot

I set a course for the rocky shore, then I abandon ship
I run for freedom and for my life, my bolt and crossbow in grip
Vengeful governor in hot pursuit, rebellion's what we need
I shoot my arrow between his eyes, we must let Switzerland breathe

Rise against the fascist regime, independence or death
Don't back down from the fight of your life
Take aim, draw back, and shoot
