We're for Liberty and Birney and for Freedom through the land
We have hatred dark and deep for the fetter and the thong;
We bring light to prisoned spirits, for the captive wail a song!
We are coming, we are coming! And 'No league with tyrant man'
Is emblazoned on our banner, while Jehovah leads the van
We are coming we are coming but we wield no battle brand
We armed with truth and justice with God's charter in our hand
And our voice which swells for freedom--freedom now and ever more
Shall be heard as ocean's thunder, when they burst upon the shore!
[Campaign song for Liberty Party's nominee, James Birney, who threw the election to democrat James Polk]
