Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail 
 
 once you provoke her, rattling of her tail 
 
 never begins it, never, but once engaged... 
 
 never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage 
 
  
  don't tread on me 
  
 
 so be it 
 
 threaten no more 
 
 to secure peace is to prepare for war 
 
 so be it 
 
 settle the score 
 
 touch me again for the words that you'll hear
 
 evermore... 
  
 
 don't tread on me 
  
 
 love it or leave it, she with the deadly bite 
 
 quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike 
 
 shining with brightness, always on surveillance 
 
 the eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance 
  
 
 don't tread on me 
  
 
 so be it 
 
 threaten no more 
 
 to secure peace is to prepare for war 
 
 so be it 
 
 settle the score 
 
 touch me again for the words that you'll hear
 
 evermore... 
  
 
 don't tread on me 
  
 
 so be it 
 
 threaten no more 
 
 to secure peace is to prepare for war 
  
 
 liberty or death, what we so proudly hail 
 
 once you provoke her, rattling on her tail 
  
 
 so be it 
 
 threaten no more 
 
 to secure peace is to prepare for war 
 
 so be it 
 
 settle the score 
 
 touch me again for the words that you'll hear
 
 evermore... 
  
 
 don't tread on me
