about

From LT: As the year ticked over from 2003 to 2004, Stu (guitar) and I sat at his house drinking bourbon and playing guitar. At some point during the night, Stu came up with the melody that plays during the intro and I worked out the chords that work behind it. The next morning when we woke up, slightly hungover and bleary-eyed, we liked the raw idea so much that we finished the music on the spot. Around that time, Dungeon’s unofficial flag was the Southern Cross flag, which was used during the rebellion at the Eureka Stockade. I thought it would be a cool topic to write about, as it both tied into our image, and it was a great story about the birthplace of Australian democracy.

lyrics

A quest for a wealth untold
Reaping the fields of gold
A chance to live as a king for every man

Corruption within the state
Political disarray
No freedom or justice for all in the land

Oh... Our rights denied
Oh... Prepare now to fight
So, we swear allegiance, a rebellion to come
A new flag is raised toward the sun...

CHORUS:
As we stand below the Southern Cross
Brothers united as one
Stand together - a united force
We will all overcome...

Renewed by the strength within
The oath sworn the wait begins
In grim resolve for what lies ahead

At dawn a surprise attack
Authorities striking back
The fields of gold now stained with seas of red

Oh... Our people may die
No... They can't take our pride
Oh, we swore allegiance, a rebellion was won
A new flag still raised toward the sun...

REPEAT CHORUS

Though we fought with our honour and pride
We're outnumbered a hundred to one
Defeated, but history showed
We have truly won..

SOLO: LT

WE SWEAR BY THE SOUTHERN CROSS
TO STAND TRULY BY EACH OTHER,
AND FIGHT TO DEFEND
OUR RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES.

REPEAT CHORUS x2
