William Barret Travis Lyrics


A red flag waves in the wind

General Sant Anna's army is here

Their force exceeded ten times

Words have failed

We will try with cannon shots

Besieged by a rain of bombs

No one was killed, we're blessed by God

We are too few to succeed

But they'll remember the Alamo for sure

As united we soar

Our rifles will roar

The Mexican lead won't tear this wall

Side by side

With a dream in our heart

A newborn Republic will soon arise from us

Now they're trying to approach

Our requests for help were answered not

And we were left here alone

To fight a battle that we cannot tell

As united we soar

Victory or death

We know no retreat

The Texas Republic will soon be free

We've given our lives

Pierced by their swords

To remind us that blood is the price for freedom
