The battered knight stood upon the hill. He catches his breath for a moment while everything is still. He's battled for days; he knows he hasn't much left. He knows his end is coming, yet he'll die with no regrets against the injustices of his land He'll see the reigning guard die by his hand. If he fails, at least he died trying. For he ideals it was worth dying.

The farmer stood beside the knight, armed with a pitchfork and a scythe. He didn't want to pay his taxes anymore, he was sick of the rich feeding off the poor. The collectors came and tried to rob him blind, he refused to pay his taxes and they called it a crime. He ran them off, sent them penniless without a thing. He was the first man not to pay the king.

It's the last act of defiance, a union against the king and the crown. Side by side they would die together, united together to bring the system down.

Soon the duo formed an army to secure a future for their daughters and their sons. They led a mutual revolt against authority to make the system come undone. Many followed in their path. Their courage to speak overcame their fears droves of citizens, they all stepped forward. From all over the countryside you could hear.

It's the last act of defiance, a union against the king and the crown. Side by side they would die together, united together to bring the system down.

In unison they marched on the king, with a roar, outlawed songs they would sing. The revolt is in motion, they have to be brave, for they'd rather die as free men than to live as slaves.

Last act of defiance, a union against the king and the crown. Side by side they would die together, united together to bring the system down. Last act of defiance, a union against the king and the crown. Side by side they would die together, united together to bring the system down.
