They came for our rifles, they silenced our cries,
They opened the gates while our homeland dies.
But the spirit of Dixie won’t bend, won’t break,
We stand for our land, for our kin, for its sake.
The South will rise from the ashes,
Through fire and thunder, we take our stand.
Raise your battle flag, let them know the might of Dixie,
Raise your rifle, defend this land!
Our fathers fought hard for the red, white, and blue,
But tyrants betray what they once held true.
From the mountains high to the Gulf so wide,
We march as one with Southern pride!
The South will rise from the ashes,
Through fire and thunder, we take our stand.
Raise your battle flag, let them know the might of Dixie,
Raise your rifle, defend this land!
Through the hills of Virginia, the bayous and plains,
We ride once more, breaking their chains.
For freedom we fight, for justice we stand,
In Dixieland, I’ll take my stand!
The South will rise from the ashes,
Through fire and thunder, we take our stand.
Raise your battle flag, let them know the might of Dixie,
Raise your rifle, defend this land!
