[00:07.196]Sons of the South arise!
[00:10.944]Rise in your matchless might.
[00:14.197]Your war cry echo to the skies,
[00:18.203]"God will defend the right."
[00:21.409]Let haughty tyrants know,
[00:24.904]Our sunny land shall be
[00:28.410]In spite of every foe,
[00:32.158]Home of the brave and free.
[00:35.910]Sons of the South arise!
[00:39.404]Rise in your matchless might.
[00:42.654]Your war cry echo to the skies,
[00:46.406]"God will defend the right."
[00:56.655]Our flag shall proudly stream,
[01:00.150]Defiant of assault.
[01:03.656]With bars of the rainbow's brightest beam
[01:08.150]And stars from the heaven's blue vault.
[01:11.401]Thousand of true and brave,
[01:14.651]Their hero lives may end.
[01:17.903]Over thousands that flag shall wave
[01:21.410]And thousands its foes defend.
[01:25.404]Sons of the South arise!
[01:28.910]Rise in your matchless might.
[01:31.905]Your war cry echo to the skies,
[01:36.080]"God will defend the right."
[01:46.333]No wrongs our breasts alarm
[01:49.840]No fears our hearts appall.
[01:53.334]Unswerving justice nerves our arms.
[01:57.083]We cannot conquered fall.
[02:00.588]Think on our noble sires.
[02:04.275]Immortal in renown.
[02:07.524]Think on our altar-fires.
[02:10.777]And strike the oppressor down.
[02:15.025]Sons of the South arise!
[02:18.277]Rise in your matchless might.
[02:21.526]Your war cry echo to the skies,
[02:25.777]"God will defend the right."
[02:36.027]With threats of horrors dire,
[02:39.280]The fierce invader comes,
[02:43.273]We scorn his boats, we scorn his ire
[02:46.779]Striking of hearths and homes.
[02:50.029]Strike for our mothers now
[02:53.281]For daughters, sisters, wives,
[02:57.030]Freely would each bestow,
[03:00.283]Were it ten thousand lives.
[03:04.276]Sons of the South arise!
[03:07.525]Rise in your matchless might.
[03:11.531]Your war cry echo to the skies,
[03:15.025]"God will defend the right."
