Democracy’s Three Deadliest Foes
No kings, no lords, no holy thrones,No tyrants ruling over our bones.
[Verse 1]
They came with swords, they came with crowns,
Warlords burning cities down.
God on their lips, blood on their hands,
Drawing borders in stolen lands.
The kings declared, “It’s heaven’s right,”
While peasants vanished in the night.
Our fathers rose with muskets bold,
To en the reign of thrones and gold.
[Chorus]
No kings, no lords, no holy thrones,
No tyrants ruling over our bones.
Raise your voice, let history know—
We won’t bow to democracy’s three deadliest foes.
[Verse 2]
Next came wealth with velvet chains,
Bought the law, rewrote the game.
Dukes in boardrooms, queens in banks,
Riding high on working ranks.
Jefferson saw what wealth could do,
Said freedom lives with me and you.
But gold crept in through power’s gate,
And rigged the rules to steal the state.
[Chorus]
No kings, no lords, no holy thrones,
No tyrants ruling over our bones.
Raise your voice, let history know—
We won’t bow to democracy’s three deadliest foes.
[Verse 3]
Then came prayers with sharpened edge,
Crosses nailed to power’s ledge.
They banned the books, they preached in schools,
Turned pulpits into power tools.
They say it’s God who guides their hand,
But use His name to seize command.
The founders warned, in fiery prose—
Keep priests and princes far from votes.
[Bridge] (spoken or sung)
The kings wear suits now, not a crown.
The rich dress humble, still beat you down.
The preachers smile, but twist the blade,
In backroom deals and laws they’ve made.
[Final Chorus]
No kings, no lords, no holy thrones,
No tyrants ruling over our bones.
We are the people, this is our road—
We fight to the end for the republic we chose.
Yes, we fight to the end for the freedom we chose.
