Onward
Bound for Attack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Onward
Onwards ever onwards, towards our dream
Forward marching forward, not as easy as it may seem
Fighting always fighting, innocent yet always the blame
Freedom I want my freedom, I know you all feel the same
Chorus:
I will only move onward
I refuse to lay down and die
What I demand is said in just one word
That word is FREEDOM for you and I
Loyalty your loyalty, shall never be forgotten
Honesty your honesty, we deserve what we have not
Dignity so much dignity, inbreed pride in history
Murder they can murder me, but my spirit remains free
Maybe just maybe, the white man will finally awake
Seize it, seize it and burn the heretic at the stake




March on, march on and free the bonded from tyranny
So come on, move on the white world's waiting for you and me
