No throne shall stand, no crown remain,
Though yesterday they held their reign.
Where rights are not for all to claim,
True self-rule will not be the name.

No throne shall stand, no crown remain,
Though yesterday they held their reign.
Where rights are not for all to claim,
True self-rule will not be the name.

The labor of a million hands,
Seized by the wealthy few, commands.
In faith and creed, a bloody tear,
Divides the hearts, fuels the fear.
Such history must now give way,
To blind dominion's final day.
Where rights are not for all to claim,
True self-rule will not be the name.
True self-rule will not be the name.
True self-rule will not be the name.
No throne shall stand, no crown remain,
Though yesterday they held their reign.
Where rights are not for all to claim,
True self-rule will not be the name.

The people's will, the law shall be,
A government of liberty.
The earth's vast bounty, all shall share,
The rightful claim, beyond compare.
No feudal lords, no gilded cage,
No capitalist's ruling page.
Where rights are not for all to claim,
True self-rule will not be the name.
True self-rule will not be the name.
True self-rule will not be the name.
No throne shall stand, no crown remain,
Though yesterday they held their reign.
Where rights are not for all to claim,
True self-rule will not be the name.

The workers' claim, the mills shall yield,
The tillers' right, the fertile field.
Why should life be under lock,
For every soul, the right to knock?
