<span style="color:#323232;">Rise like Lions after slumber
</span><span style="color:#323232;">In unvanquishable number,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Shake your chains to earth like dew
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Which in sleep had fallen on you -
</span><span style="color:#323232;">We are many and they are few.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">We are many - they are few.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">What is Freedom?—you can tell
</span><span style="color:#323232;">That which slavery is, too well—
</span><span style="color:#323232;">For its very name has grown
</span><span style="color:#323232;">To an echo of your own.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">It is to work and have such pay
</span><span style="color:#323232;">As just keeps life from day to day
</span><span style="color:#323232;">In your limbs, as in a cell
</span><span style="color:#323232;">For the tyrants’ use to dwell,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">And to be for them made
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Loom, and plough, and sword, and spade,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">With or without your own will bent
</span><span style="color:#323232;">To their defense and nourishment.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Rise like Lions after slumber
</span><span style="color:#323232;">In unvanquishable number,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Shake your chains to earth like dew
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Which in sleep had fallen on you -
</span><span style="color:#323232;">We are many and they are few.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">We are many - they are few.
