Sufjan Stevens - The Star Spangled Banner lyrics
[Sufjan Stevens - The Star Spangled Banner lyrics]
Oh, say can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at
The twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare
And the bombs in the air
Gave us proof through the night that
Our flag was still there
And our flag marked with blood
With the blood of our hands
And our hands marked with death
With the blood of the man
And the man on the cross
And the cross on our hearts
Has it done nothing more
Than to drive us apart?
And the rockets' red glare and
The bombs in the air
Gave us proof through the night that
Our flag was still there
And our flag marked with blood
With the blood of our hands
And our hands marked with death
With the blood of the man
And the man on the cross
And the cross on our hearts
Has it done nothing more
Than to drive us apart?
Oh say, does that star
(Oh say, does that star)
Spangled banner yet wave
(Spangled banner yet wave)
O'er the land of the free
(O'er the land of the free)
And the home of the brave?
(And the home of the brave?)
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at
The twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare
And the bombs in the air
Gave us proof through the night that
Our flag was still there
And our flag marked with blood
With the blood of our hands
And our hands marked with death
With the blood of the man
And the man on the cross
And the cross on our hearts
Has it done nothing more
Than to drive us apart?
And the rockets' red glare and
The bombs in the air
Gave us proof through the night that
Our flag was still there
And our flag marked with blood
With the blood of our hands
And our hands marked with death
With the blood of the man
And the man on the cross
And the cross on our hearts
Has it done nothing more
Than to drive us apart?
Oh say, does that star
(Oh say, does that star)
Spangled banner yet wave
(Spangled banner yet wave)
O'er the land of the free
(O'er the land of the free)
And the home of the brave?
(And the home of the brave?)
