EDSA, This Noble Fight

Arise, you citizens from your slumber!
Arise, you victims of plunder!
For the rot of corruption has reached the core
And immoderate is the greed of the whore.
For we have had enough of this pretender
For we have had too much of this impostor.

So comrades, with us come rally!
And this noble fight let us face
On EDSA be part of the tally
Our fists and arms let us brace!

Arise, you citizens from your slumber!
Arise, you victims of plunder!
The time is now to finish corruption's dread
Let us start by cutting off the serpent's head.
The time is now to wage battle in the streets
And kick the serpent's minions from their seats.

So comrades, with us come rally!
And this noble fight let us face
On EDSA be part of the tally
Our fists and arms let us brace!

Arise, you citizens from your slumber!
Arise, you victims of plunder!
Cower not in your offices and farms
Believe not her lies, bribes, and charms.
Betray not the cause of our motherland
Against this government take a strong stand.

So comrades, with us come rally!
And this noble fight let us face
On EDSA be part of the tally
Our fists and arms let us brace!

Arise, you citizens from your slumber!
Arise, you victims of plunder!
Let our groups' loud collective will prevail
Let our liberation be the fruit of our travail.
Let us, on EDSA, dictate the nation's fate
To us the country's gratitude will be great.

So comrades, with us come rally!
And this noble fight let us face
On EDSA be part of the tally
Our fists and arms let us brace!
