Born of the age<br />
Flagged hopes<br />
Censored rage<br />
The black clad box<br />
Bombs bursting in air<br />
Bleed white red and blue<br />
Cried dawn's early light<br />
For the hope<br />
<br />
Oh where has it gone<br />
Brothers sisters stand firmly and try<br />
Reaching the spacious ski-ies<br />
Fourth of July<br />
<br />
Lie by the sword<br />
Black times<br />
False reward<br />
The greetings of doom<br />
So proudly they hail<br />
Lost fortune of free<br />
The stripes and bright stars <br />
Promise lost<br />
<br />
Oh where has it gone<br />
Brothers sisters stand firmly and try<br />
Reaching the spacious ski-ies<br />
Fourth of July<br />
<br />
Brothers sisters stand firmly and try<br />
Reaching the spacious ski-ies<br />
Fourth of July
