Like the tribes who fought the Romans

Like the pagans defending their gods

Like the Scots at Stirling Bridge

We shall struggle against the odds

Never to oppression shall we yield

Fighting with pride for what we believe

No matter how mighty our foe may be

With blood and steel all we can achieve

(bridge)

On the road of rebellion we ride in defiance

Against oppression and mindless compliance

On wings of defiance

We are the rebels who reject your rule

We are the infidels who fight your creed

We are preachers of the devil’s sermon

Never to your power shall we cede

Against overwhelming forces we stand

In bloody battle we may fall and die

Yet our beliefs and ideals shall endure

You will never silence our battle cry

(bridge)

On wings of defiance

Like the Irish who fought an empire

Like the Spartans who stood at the gates

Like the emperor facing the church

We shall do battle in dire straits

In the past many fought for freedom

So many times their lives they gave

Their glorious deeds still inspire us all

Better die free than live as a slave

(bridge)

On wings of defiance
