i dont think he is anti government , i think he is just against what it has become. and he is right. we need to get back to the constitution and everyone should read it before they put it down. the constitution and the declaration of independence gives you chills when you read it .
I see no evidence that he did anything worse than walking into the foyer area of the Capital Building. It actually amazes me that WE are called the Nazis, yet those people (Congress) want the people that attacked their "sacred house" are the people calling for lists and deprogramming. Not all of them, obviously. I like a bunch of people up there, but they are few and far between the corrupt establishment neo-cons, gun grabbing "moderate" liberals, and the actual communist leftists.
Whoever made this, if you're still out there somewhere, just know that this is one of the greatest music videos on all of RUclips and you're a fucking legend bro
As a business owner in the US I've learned many things about our education system and i do agree it is flawed. I know many people go to college for a degree in business management. I can tell you that it doesn't take a degree to run a business, I've worked for several business owners who never had a college degree and just self taught them selves. People fail because they give it up, that's the biggest reason, they don't believe in themselves enough to make it. your mind plays the main role
A desperate situation Forced to retaliation The task ahead, a burden Men will suffer, that's for certain We'll charge into the fire The cause, we must inspire We raise our fist to tyranny A high price, Freedom is not free The odds are stacked against us But with our resolve relentless And arrogance their Weakness Our cause is just, we won't be beaten Upon this declaration Will come a brand new nation Where men are seen as equal Governed by and for the people Chorus So we make our stand and pray On this declaration day For independence I will fight With liberty I will defy So we make our stand and pray On this declaration day Give me liberty or give me death I'll fight 'till my last breath With virtue as our beacon Our cause is charged as treason Battle worn and starving Through the hell of war we'll keep marching The birth of our new nation An act of desperation We'll force king George down to his knees Capitulation
the problems are pretty much the same, a group of people trying to control all people. the constitution , if followed, prevents that. the constitution is for our protection not the governments. i am not trying to change your mind because i can see, just as my mind is set so is yours. i love this country and what it used to stand for and i want it back and you should too.
Yeah, because it's Tim Owens behind the mic. He was only here for this album and the Framing Armageddon album but he made his case as the best vocalist Iced Earth ever had.

I cry many times listening to this song and the Gettysburg Trilogy. Not sad tears but proud tears. I don't want to die as an old man. I want to die for my country.
One of my top ten favorite movies of all time. (Counting the Star Trek and Star Wars sagas as one "movie each" of course) And definitely the most glorious Iced Earth song ever. Combined to magnificent, uplifting and motivated video anthem, More important now than quite possibly any time in America's history - OR THE WORLD'S. SI VIS PACEM, PARA BELLUM!
John Shaffer stood for what he believes in and like it or not that takes fuckin balls to stand for something you know you'll be imprisoned for. Gives me chills!!!
Oh, this is going in my *Revolution Soundtrack* playlist! \m/ i'm almost kinda glad now that i missed Sheck playing this during his Dungeon Independence Day Craptacular, because i might never have found this video! Ultimate expression of Free People fighting and winning against impossible tyranny+ Masterstroke movie made about it (from back when Mel Gibson was sane and lovable)+ And absolutely ass-kicking epic anthem from one of the most inspiring and patriotic musicians *ever* = this *Gloriously perfect video!* Gawd, i almost forgot how divine and breathtaking The Patriot was. Everyone was so perfect in that. Jason Isaacs just *loves* playing those irresistible slimeball characters you love to hate. What's the guy that plays Cornwallis's name? Tom Wilkinson or something? He's a fucking genius too. He was Falconi (sic) in Batman Begins and a high ranking Nazi in Valkyrie. (Which are both hella great movies about standing up for what is right though it will get you killed) A few Star Trek alums are in it too; Renee Auberjonois (which there is no way i spelled that right) and that other guy i never remember his name to begin with but he asked Data if he wanted to go find "some low-mileage pit-woofies". Yes, you're right. i should totally go on Jeopardy! Tell that to those morons at Sony Tri-Star. They apparently aren't interested in their highest ratings ever and more game show records being broken. Nga'chuq them. Anyway, it's a brutal fuckin movie. If it doesn't move you to uncontrollable amounts of emotion *you are not a sentient life form* This Country, this *World* needs this song, this movie right now. Perhaps more than ever in Human history.
I think it's more split. The blame can go to multiple factors...some may have the right attitude and mindset to be successful, but their lack of credentials means that they aren't taken because other, more qualified candidates are available.
In all reality When it came to the war on the frontier, The guy tavington is based off of and the guy Martin was based off of were equally brutal to each other, The movie is just really the american side of that story to behonest, History has more then one side of things.
The "original" video with set abominae ,If that is the one you were referring to wasn't done by Iced Earth. It as a fan made video that has been around for years now.
After seeing the band's statement about the lead guitarist's involvement in the Capitol march or their stand against violence, I have now discovered Iced Earth. It is readily apparent from just this one song how they truly feel about the gov't. Interesting how they sing it, but are now scared to stay faithful to their lead guitarist. Hmmm. Hypocritical much?
those trying to go around the constitution is the reason we are in the shape we are in today.the constitution is very basic and put there to protect us against a tyranous government, it prevents the government from doing to us what is being done to us now. we need to follow the constitution. in other words what is going on in the world today as opposed to 200 years ago... same shit different day.
@krnr Well if you work hard, then maybe one day you can become rich too. And I'm sorry but you fail to realize that the United States is the only country in the world where transcending classes is the easiest. In addition, the U.S. is not a two class system, there isn't only rich and poor. The majority of Americans are middle class, property owners (also more then any other country in the world) who play a more pivotal rule in American politics then any of the two classes.
I knew it was around for a while, but I thought it was done by Iced Earth. I didn't understand why the video (for the absolute most part) had nothing to do with the song.
You forgot to mention Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Germany, Finland, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Azerbaijan = all absorbed by the Soviet Union by force. Now tell me, are any of the countries you listed "Granada, (gulf war is not a country) Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, soon to be Syria" are, or ever were at any time part of the United States? And on that note, he might not be an expert on communism, and you might not be an expert on capitalism, but he's lived through both, which I'm sure you haven't.
True, but sadly, most people don't have the opportunity to work to their fullest potential. And it's not because they're lazy, it's because we have a shitty education system combined with privately-run colleges. The former is bad because it doesn't allow students to get good enough grades to get scholarships easily, and the latter because the private colleges are almost like corporations in that they don't like giving scholarships because they love money. We dont have enough smart graduates :\
i dont think he is anti government , i think he is just against what it has become. and he is right. we need to get back to the constitution and everyone should read it before they put it down. the constitution and the declaration of independence gives you chills when you read it .
I wonder how many people still stand with Iced Earth after Jon Schaffer at the Capitol? I do. Hold the line.
1000% stand with Iced Earth
Hold at all costs
I see no evidence that he did anything worse than walking into the foyer area of the Capital Building. It actually amazes me that WE are called the Nazis, yet those people (Congress) want the people that attacked their "sacred house" are the people calling for lists and deprogramming. Not all of them, obviously. I like a bunch of people up there, but they are few and far between the corrupt establishment neo-cons, gun grabbing "moderate" liberals, and the actual communist leftists.
I do stand with john and iced earth and fuck century media
I defintiley do! Fuk all the posers
....The answer to 1984??.....1776!!.....Stand tall patriots, it is your Independence Day!!!
Infowarrior!
GOT DAMN RIGHT IM WITH YOU
That's beautiful! Thank you!!
Loud and clear brother!
The answer to 1984 is 1933
Whoever made this, if you're still out there somewhere, just know that this is one of the greatest music videos on all of RUclips and you're a fucking legend bro

Fantastic cd ... even being Brazilian I admire the history of the American Revolution!!!
First time I met and heard Tim was in the late 80s at the Temple Tavern in Akron OH. He kicked ass then and is still kickin' ass. Rock on Ripper.
A desperate situation
Forced to retaliation
The task ahead, a burden
Men will suffer, that's for certain
We'll charge into the fire
The cause, we must inspire
We raise our fist to tyranny
A high price, Freedom is not free
The odds are stacked against us
But with our resolve relentless
And arrogance their Weakness
Our cause is just, we won't be beaten
Upon this declaration
Will come a brand new nation
Where men are seen as equal
Governed by and for the people
Chorus
So we make our stand and pray
On this declaration day
For independence I will fight
With liberty I will defy
So we make our stand and pray
On this declaration day
Give me liberty or give me death
I'll fight 'till my last breath
With virtue as our beacon
Our cause is charged as treason
Battle worn and starving
Through the hell of war we'll keep marching
The birth of our new nation
An act of desperation
We'll force king George down to his knees
Capitulation
the problems are pretty much the same, a group of people trying to control all people. the constitution , if followed, prevents that. the constitution is for our protection not the governments. i am not trying to change your mind because i can see, just as my mind is set so is yours. i love this country and what it used to stand for and i want it back and you should too.
In my opinion, The best Iced Earth song ever!
Tomas Gjerstad High water mark is also good.
I prefer Matt Barlow to Stu Block.
I agree! It's the song that introduced me to Iced Earth
@ I prefer Tim Owens to Matt Barlow and Stu Block.
Yeah, because it's Tim Owens behind the mic. He was only here for this album and the Framing Armageddon album but he made his case as the best vocalist Iced Earth ever had.
Stand tall stand free and stand for what you believe in.
Great video...shows what REAL men do when faced with TYRANNY!

Declaration Day lyrics
© Warner/Chappell Music,
26 people cannot appreciate good music
the lyrics combined with the Rippers voice is just utter goosebumps!!!
Wow. It captures the spirit of America and of that movie.
They would be so disappointed by what happening nowadays. How this all is twisted and corrupted.
Happy 4th!!!!!
God bless America!!!!
Murica!!!!
what a GREAT song!!!!!!!!
I cry many times listening to this song and the Gettysburg Trilogy.
Not sad tears but proud tears.
I don't want to die as an old man. I want to die for my country.
One of my top ten favorite movies of all time.
(Counting the Star Trek and Star Wars sagas as one "movie each" of course)
And definitely the most glorious Iced Earth song ever.
Combined to magnificent, uplifting and motivated video anthem,
More important now than quite possibly any time in America's history - OR THE WORLD'S.
SI VIS PACEM, PARA BELLUM!
Agree wholeheartedly......It is time to restore what has been broken!.....May the souls of the patriots guide us and God Bless America!!
Freedom is not free!!!
Always a good listen on July 4th!
"This We'll Defend!!"
This makes me want to load some magazines and head out to do some serious patriot shit!!!
Where were you 1/6/21? Nevermind dont answer your username says it all
John Shaffer stood for what he believes in and like it or not that takes fuckin balls to stand for something you know you'll be imprisoned for. Gives me chills!!!
This is my favorite iced earth song ever
Iced Earth my favorite band of all time and the patriot is one of my favorite films I love movies and mel gibson he is a great actor
My favorite Iced Earth cd right next to Something Wicked this Way Comes. Love this song and Gettysburg is also a fantastic trilogy.
A metal masterpiece.
Great song and great movie....cheers from Brazil.
amazing song..... Iced Earth is one of my all time favorite bands
A song that should be played on the radio but isn’t. I hope some people find this and start to play it more.
27 red coats disliked this
I love this song. "Give me liberty or give me death - I'LL FIGHT TIL MY LAST BREATH!" - that should be written on our military vehicles or weapons.
Happy Fourth of July and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
"So Help Me God"
- George Washington (His modified flare to the Oath of Office) and He kissed the Bible after he swore on it!
i love this F@!# movie and this F#@! SONG!!!
Oh, this is going in my *Revolution Soundtrack* playlist! \m/
i'm almost kinda glad now that i missed Sheck playing this during his Dungeon Independence Day Craptacular, because i might never have found this video!
Ultimate expression of Free People fighting and winning against impossible tyranny+
Masterstroke movie made about it (from back when Mel Gibson was sane and lovable)+
And absolutely ass-kicking epic anthem from one of the most inspiring and patriotic musicians *ever*
= this *Gloriously perfect video!*
Gawd, i almost forgot how divine and breathtaking The Patriot was. Everyone was so perfect in that. Jason Isaacs just *loves* playing those irresistible slimeball characters you love to hate.
What's the guy that plays Cornwallis's name? Tom Wilkinson or something? He's a fucking genius too. He was Falconi (sic) in Batman Begins and a high ranking Nazi in Valkyrie.

Yes, you're right. i should totally go on Jeopardy! Tell that to those morons at Sony Tri-Star.
They apparently aren't interested in their highest ratings ever and more game show records being broken.
Nga'chuq them.
Anyway, it's a brutal fuckin movie. If it doesn't move you to uncontrollable amounts of emotion *you are not a sentient life form*
This Country, this *World* needs this song, this movie right now. Perhaps more than ever in Human history.
Great job! About time someone did this!
This is awesome! Really brings it to life! :)
Nice !
yeah i saw that, the Set puppet, but then again this movie wasnt around then :P
Fucking A you nailed it with this video. GOOD JOB
THE ANSWARD TO 1984 IS 1776 AMERICA NEVER EVER FORGET
NICE
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!
I LOVE AMERICA KEEP STANDING FOR FREEDOM AMERICANS I LOVE YOU ALL
American unity and freedom forever!!
I figured somebody had to do this as video. Well done, comotose!! \m/

@Clansy74
Wow, to say that my video is better then the original really mean a lot to me. Thanks!
THE BEST ICED EARTH SONG...EVER....BY FAR.....
Nice video! Unlike the God-awful official video,this one actually fits with the song! Congratz!
Jon Shaffer is a fucking hero!
Because we love fighting.
that intro
Ah man, you cut right before one of the best deaths in the movie.
If the Tea Party had this as their theme, why do I feel even more would support them?

Its in the description.
sorry mr key but this is my national anthem :)

I've seen this movie once lol.
my list of mortal nemeses has twelve more names on it.....
14 now.
I have to agree. The official video did nothing to capture the majesty of the song.
those trying to go around the constitution is the reason we are in the shape we are in today.the constitution is very basic and put there to protect us against a tyranous government, it prevents the government from doing to us what is being done to us now. we need to follow the constitution. in other words what is going on in the world today as opposed to 200 years ago... same shit different day.

The Patriot
I'm posting this shit EVERYWHERE On July 4th
whats the movie called anyone?
THE PATRIOT
WE DID AMERICA MAGA WON 2024
Biggotist as I may be, I feel almost any footage of Gibson that may be paired with Iced earth will not gain a + from me.... No "-" here however.
You spelt movie wrong at your end credits..
TRUMP HAS BEEN CLEARED I KNEW HE NEVER SELL US OUT 2019 IM STILL HERE ROCKING AMERICA I LOVE YOU ALL #MAGA EVERYDAY
@comotose762 yeah and in god you trust.
You forgot to mention Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Germany, Finland, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Azerbaijan = all absorbed by the Soviet Union by force.
