Southern Stars
Rose Tattoo Lyrics

The ghosts of Eureka are calling to me now
I am being inspired by the spirits of the fallen Eureka rebellion soldiers to take up arms in the fight for freedom.

To fashion a sword from the steel of the plough
I will use the farming tools to create weapons that will be used to defend our land and freedom.

And if blood must spill, for freedom so dear
I understand that the price of freedom might be high, even if it means sacrificing lives.

Rally 'round the flag boys, rally 'round and cheer
Let's come together and show our support for the cause, and be ready to fight for our freedom.

I was born and raised here this land is my home
I have strong ties to this land and will do everything in my power to defend it, even if it means fighting.

And I'll fight if I have to keep this land my own
I am willing to engage in combat to protect my homeland from invaders and/or oppressors.

I'm a man with pride, my heart is straight ahead
I am a proud and determined individual, committed to fighting for what I believe is right.

So come and swear an oath on the stars above our head
Let's make a solemn pledge to defend our land and freedom, under the guidance of celestial bodies untouched by human conflict.

The countries glories are fading away
The grandeur and glory of other nations are diminishing, making it even more important for us to safeguard our own homeland and culture.

But here I was born and here I'll stay
I have a deep attachment to this land, and I am not willing to leave it despite any hardships that may come my way.

I wanna live my life under Southern Stars
I long to spend my life basking in the beauty and freedom of the Southern skies.
