With the world in sleeping silence
Before the cold morning dew
Platoons crossed the borders
For reasons only known by few

Where lies and propaganda
Try to reason with common sense
Clandestine thieves of the night
Marched behind our defence

We Will Rise
Our hope will never die
We Will Rise
With honour and pride

With roaring tanks and cannons
Invaded from all sides
The giant had just one purpose
To destroy millions of lives

Our land will be devoured
For the western greater good
Doomed to pay the highest price
When the world the just watched and stood

We Will Rise
We Will Rise

May the tears of our children
Feed the freedom we earned.
And the blood of our brothers
Be soil to the lesson to be learned

Our hope will never fade
With pride in our hearts we die
Surrender was never an option
Someday… we will rise!
