Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
Never begins it, never, but once engaged...
Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage

Don't tread on me

     So be it
     Threaten no more
     To secure peace is to prepare for war
     So be it
     Settle the score
     Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

Don't tread on me

Love it or live it, she with the deadly bite
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as the lighting strike
Shining with brightness, always on surveillance
The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance

Don't tread on me

     So be it
     Threaten no more
     To secure peace is to prepare for war
     So be it
     Settle the score
     Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

Don't tread on me

     So be it
     Threaten no more
     To secure peace is to prepare for war

Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail

     So be it
     Threaten no more
     To secure peace is to prepare for war
     So be it
     Settle the score
     Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

Don't tread on me
