Freedom Or Death (Kosovo 1389)

Ye blood brothers of Sava

The clarion calls

Let down lutes and psalterias

And take up your swords

Tsar Lazar the glorious

Heading the charge

His breastplate and shield shine

With the holy cross...

Voyvoda Stepan rides at his side

The mighty king Vukashin

Goiko and Uglyesha

Staring proudly into the sun

Defying the fire, scorning the foe

Freedom or death is their oath

Ye sons of the empire

The sun doth rise black

Now's the time to due hands red

But let your souls be write

Tsar Lazar has fallen

Under turkish sword

Avenge him to the last man

Freedom or death!

Voyvoda Stepan bleeds by his side

The mighty king Vukashin

Goiko and Uglyesha

Staring proudly into the sun

Defying the fire, scorning the foe

Freedom or death is their oath

Must thou go my noble Tsar?

Would that I were cold with those

That laid their lives in the holy cause

At the feet of the Serbian eagle...

Would that the blade that sealed thy fate

Be lodged ten times into my breast

Than to see our only hope fail...

Our dead call for revenge

Remember Kosovo

Left alone to brave the night

We stood for out homeland

God and the Tsar

On the fields where we fell

Now the Amaranths bloom...
