| Song lyrics |
Verse 1:
Oh say can you see
by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hail’d
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
the bombs bursting air,
Gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there.
Oh say does that
star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?
Verse 2:
On the shore dimly seen
Through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host
In the dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze,
O’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows,
Half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam
Of the morning’s first beam
In full glory reflected
Now shines in the stream
‘Tis the star-spangled banner,
oh, long may it wave
O’er the land of the free
And the home of the brave!
Verse 3:
And where is that band
Who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war
And the battle’s confusion
A home and a country
Should not leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out
Their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save
The hireling and slave
From the terror of flight
Or the gloom of the grave
And the star spangled banner
in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free
And the home of the brave.
Verse 4:
Oh, thus be it ever
When freemen shall stand
Between their loved home
And the war’s desolation!
Blest with vict’ry and peace
May the heav’n-rescued land
Praise the power that hath made
And preserv’d us a nation!
Then conquer we must,
When our cause, it is just,
And this be our motto
“In God is our Trust”
And the star-spangled banner
In triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free
And the home of the brave.

| I'm not Canadian.. | 08-02-2005 03:02 emancipatedc | 7 posts
| heh. u think the lyrics are violent? that's arguably the least violent verse of the whole song, except for maybe the second | 08-02-2005 03:04 emancipatedc | 7 posts
| there is a reason that they never sing the other 3 verses, namely that they're not all PC | 08-02-2005 03:08 hobbitongurl | 4,053 posts
| Lyrics are violent..what I hear is
"i'm proud to fight and kill other people to defend this country..seeing a freakin piece of fabric restores my faith in mankind" thats just soo pathetic.. | 08-02-2005 03:18 emancipatedc | 7 posts
| i don't think the flag had quite the same connotation when Key wrote the lyrics... | 08-02-2005 03:20 Cheater138 |  19,810 posts
| Umm... correct me if I'm wrong, but I dont' believe there is any part of this song where it says something about killing people.
I think some people need to lighten up a bit. | 08-02-2005 03:22 emancipatedc | 7 posts
| remember that was the war of 1812 when the british attacked his country, so damn right he's proud that his side's winning | 08-02-2005 03:23 emancipatedc | 7 posts
| the stuff about killing ppl is in the later verses of the song... | 08-02-2005 03:28 Cheater138 |  19,810 posts
| Ahh.. makes sense now. But still, why are some people so uptight about it... it was written how many years ago? And during a war for that matter... geesh.. | 02-03-2005 23:18 xXSwEeTaNgElXx | 56 posts
