I wonder how many people still stand with Iced Earth after Jon Schaffer at the Capitol? I do. Hold the line.

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 .

....The answer to 1984??.....1776!!.....Stand tall patriots, it is your Independence Day!!!

Whoever made this, if you're still out there somewhere, just know that this is one of the greatest music videos on all of KZfaq and you're a fucking legend bro

Fantastic cd ... even being Brazilian I admire the history of the American Revolution!!!

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

Stand tall stand free and stand for what you believe in.

True patriot

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

Great video...shows what REAL men do when faced with TYRANNY!

Hear this message today people!!!

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.

In my opinion, The best Iced Earth song ever!

Tim Owens! ALL HAIL THE RIPPER!

26 people cannot appreciate good music

They would be so disappointed by what happening nowadays. How this all is twisted and corrupted.

This makes me want to load some magazines and head out to do some serious patriot shit!!!

Freedom is not free!!!

what a GREAT song!!!!!!!!

the lyrics combined with the Rippers voice is just utter goosebumps!!!

Happy 4th!!!!!

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.

Wow. It captures the spirit of America and of that movie.

"This We'll Defend!!"

THE BEST ICED EARTH SONG...EVER....BY FAR.....

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!

"So Help Me God" - George Washington (His modified flare to the Oath of Office) and He kissed the Bible after he swore on it!

My favorite Iced Earth cd right next to Something Wicked this Way Comes. Love this song and Gettysburg is also a fantastic trilogy.

THE ANSWARD TO 1984 IS 1776 AMERICA NEVER EVER FORGET

This is my favorite iced earth song ever

Always a good listen on July 4th!

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

amazing song..... Iced Earth is one of my all time favorite bands

A metal masterpiece.

Great song and great movie....cheers from Brazil.

Great job! About time someone did this!

This is awesome! Really brings it to life! :)

A song that should be played on the radio but isn’t. I hope some people find this and start to play it more.

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.

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.

Happy Fourth of July and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

I LOVE AMERICA KEEP STANDING FOR FREEDOM AMERICANS I LOVE YOU ALL

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.

Fucking A you nailed it with this video. GOOD JOB

i love this F@!# movie and this F#@! SONG!!!

I figured somebody had to do this as video. Well done, comotose!! \m/

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.

Nice !

NICE

USA USA USA USA

😍😍😍😍😍

American unity and freedom forever!!

If the Tea Party had this as their theme, why do I feel even more would support them?

Turkish American here, i just love my USA...

The Patriot

that intro

Because we love fighting.

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.

yeah i saw that, the Set puppet, but then again this movie wasnt around then :P

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.

well , it is better than the original. good work man. i love it. now i am off to play assassins creed 3 :D:D

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

sorry mr key but this is my national anthem :)

@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.

Nice video! Unlike the God-awful official video,this one actually fits with the song! Congratz!

Its in the description.

Ah man, you cut right before one of the best deaths in the movie.

@Clansy74 Wow, to say that my video is better then the original really mean a lot to me. Thanks!

USA!!!

my list of mortal nemeses has twelve more names on it.....

I have to agree. The official video did nothing to capture the majesty of the song.

July 4th 2018

STAND UP AMERICA AND STAND YOUR FUCKING GROUND TRUMP 2016

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.

I've seen this movie once lol.

I'm justified in saying this: U-S-A!

Happy 4th, lovers of liberty!

WWG1WGA!!!!

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?

@AydinPT The Patriot

Sic semper tyrannis...

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 :\

@comotose762 yeah and in god you trust.

I'm posting this shit EVERYWHERE On July 4th

1:15 Assassins Creed 3 XD

1776 will commence again!!!

@rplowmein "Spelt" isn't a word.

TRUMP 2020 #KAG

Remember the last song...

Well let's see, why don't you take a look at the philadelphia trumpet's latest issue. It's called Congress vs. the US Constitution. The article is about how Congress is doing everything they can to work around the constitution, and let's see, the United States is in more debt now than we were in the great depression of 1920. The don't stop spending, and we don't benefit anyway, shape or form from their wasteful spending.

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.

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.

Perfekt CD in the Trump era! You only want to submit the Rest of the World! Freedom only for you
