Kansas was bleeding 1856
A free state consumed
By racist border attacks
Lawrence sacked, and a movement was lost
Till one man stood up and drew blood for
Blood was spilt on that final day

The crimes of the guilty, John Brown swore
Will never be purged away except with blood

This is the ghost of john brown’s revenge
Look where we’re at… America Now
A classist divide, drawn on the lines of…..

Never give up, never give in
This is the legacy of John Brown’s re-……
Never give up, never give in
These are the words of John Brown’s re-….
Never give up, never give in
This is the ghost of John Brown’s revenge
