Let's post music related to our Forefathers declaring Independence from the British crown. I'll start off with something by an American metal band called Iced Earth (the music is kinda boring though).
Declaration Day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_LDDnV735o
A desperate situation Forced to retaliation The task ahead, a burden Men will suffer, that's for certain We'll charge into the fire The cause, we must inspire We raise our fist to tyranny A high price, Freedom is not free
The odds are stacked against us But with our resolve relentless And arrogance their Weakness Our cause is just, we won't be beaten Upon this declaration Will come a brand new nation Where men are seen as equal Governed by and for the people
Chorus So we make our stand and pray On this declaration day For independence I will fight With liberty I will defy
So we make our stand and pray On this declaration day Give me liberty or give me death I'll fight 'till my last breath
With virtue as our beacon Our cause is charged as treason Battle worn and starving Through the hell of war we'll keep marching The birth of our new nation An act of desperation We'll force king George down to his knees Capitulation
Repeat Chorus

Big fan of Iced Earth. The lead singer is a scholar of the American Revolution as depicted nicely at the back of their debut CD.
