A goddamn mountain man I am
Filled with wisdom from these haunted lands
But the diatribe of the northern mouth
Tempts to wake the sleeping beast of the south

Pain!
(I know it)
Shame!
(I know it well)
But pride!
(I know it)
Strength!
(I know it well)
All too fucking well

And the south will rise
Rise up!
Rise

You take my home
And reduce it to a tired, satirical, hillbilly reference
It's beyond old (I abhor the fucking arrogance)

This rebel flag that I hold in my hand is not
The racist mark of an ignorant man
It flies high for all of those who stand against any fool who'd impose
Unchecked aggression

Pain!
(We know it)
Shame!
(We know it well)
But pride!
(We know it)
Strength!
(We know it well)
Goddamn it all too well

And the south will rise
Rise up!

On going
Undiluted
Bestowing
Giving us the right to be here

My pride runs deeper than these mountains have hold
Make known, brothers and sisters
That you are children of this land you behold

The south is rising
The south is rising

The south is rising and the south will rise
Rise up!
