BATTLE HYMN OF THE REBELLION

by Judith Proctor

tune: battle Hymn of the Republic/John Brown's Body


Mine eyes have seen a vision of a coming time of peace,
A time when all the fighting and rebellion will have ceased,
A time when all the greatest shall be equal with the least,
The people shall be free!

Glory Glory Halleluljah etc.

I have seen the spaceships fighting, I have seen the plasma glare,
I have felt the bolts of blasters, as they shriek above your hair,
But through all the noise of battle, I can hear a faint fanfare,
The people shall be free!

Glory Glory etc.

I have seen the death of innocents by tyranny's cruel hand,
I have seen the dreadful bloodshed carried out by Space Command,
I have seen the unacceptable, I choose to take a stand,
The people shall be free!

Glory Glory etc.
