Many years ago
When the landlords ruled the world
They tyrannized their slaves,
The people who worked for them
They thought they had the power
The power to break all the rules
One day a man took it no longer
And he started a fight on his own

He condemned the landlords
And all their bloody friends to the gallow
He just wanted a free world
'Cause he found all men are equal
He condemned the landlords
He just wanted a free world

Rise, rise
Rise people and fight against tyranny
Don't run, Don't run
Don't run, people, and fight for your right
Fight, fight
Fight people against your oppressors
Win, win
Win, people, and be a free man

The slaves took up their weapons
They declared the knights the war, ha!
The landlords laughed with them
'Cause they thought no one was so strong
The people had a cause
They fought for their rights
They knew it wouldn't be cheap
Many brave men should die

He condemned the landlords
And all their bloody friends to the gallow
He just wanted a free world
'Cause he found all men are equal
He condemned the landlords
He just wanted a free world

Rise, rise
Rise people and fight against tyranny
Don't run, Don't run
Don't run, people, and fight for your right
Fight, fight
Fight people against your oppressors
Win, win
Win, people, and be a free man

The battle was hard and painful
Many brave men lost their live
The poor fought with the will
The will to survive
Their leaders weren't great warriors
But warriors with a pride
Pride to lead a small army
For the victory of their lifes

He condemned the landlords
And all their bloody friends to the gallow
He just wanted a free world
'Cause he found all men are equal
He condemned the landlords
He just wanted a free world

Rise, rise
Rise people and fight against tyranny
Don't run, Don't run
Don't run, people, and fight for your right
Fight, fight
Fight people against your oppressors
Win, win
Win, people, and be a free man
