The Shores of Tripoli
From the streets in Tunisia
 To the barricades in Tahrir Square
 The bleeding deserts of Libya
 From Bahrain
 To Yemen
 To Oman
 Freedom cries eternal.
 
 They train in Benghazi
 To die in Ras Lanuf
 And Surt
 And Zawiya
 The oil docks of Brega
 And soon in Tripoli.
 
 Common people fighting
 Desperate to be free
 They fight for freedom
 For the right to live
 Fight for home and family.
 
 42 years have the struggled
 Now they finally push back
 They fight men on a paycheck to kill
 Fight against Lord Tyranny.
 
 Tremors of Tunisia
 Inspiration from Tahrir
 Here it comes together.
 
 The rebels stand their ground
 The cowards turn and run.
 
 Scores of Marines wait in the sea
 Unneeded, for now, to go to Tripoli.
 The people can do it
 They’re a tough bunch.
 Not yet, but soon, the people will win.
 
 They’ll be free, but still to die
 They’ll live in freedom
 (That eternal lie).
