[00:00:10][music] >> The warships are anchored in the dark.

[00:00:19]Their guns pointed at our hearts.

[00:00:23]>> [music] >> If they move by land or sea, >> [music] >> the signal will fly.

[00:00:36]One if by land, >> [music] >> two if BY SEA.

[00:00:43]MY HORSE IS READY.

[00:00:46]THE FUSE [music] IS LIT.

[00:00:49]TONIGHT, the silence of the colonies ends.

[00:00:58]>> [music] [music] >> I rode past the shadows [music] of the summer solstice hall, where the silence of death is the only cry. I felt the cold mist OF THE RIVER AIR PULL as I reached FOR THE SHORE, AND NO ONE WAS WAITING FOR ME.

[00:01:32]THE LANTERNS ARE BURNING IN THE NORTH [music] CHURCH FIRE, A WARNING IN LIGHT FOR the men of the field.

[00:01:41]I'M RIDING THROUGH DARKNESS TO KINDLE THE FIRE, TO TELL EVERY VILLAGE WE NEVER SHALL YIELD.

[00:01:50]OH, BEATS OF THUNDER ON THE LEXINGTON ROAD.

[00:01:54]I'M CARRYING THE WEIGHT OF A HEAVY [screaming] DARK LOAD.

[00:01:58]THE REDCOATS ARE MARCHING [music] WITH BAYONETS BRIGHT TO STEAL AWAY FREEDOM IN THE DEAD OF THE NIGHT.

[00:02:07]THE GATES [music] ARE OPEN AND THE BELLS START TO RING.

[00:02:11]Defiance to the end and the will OF THE KING.

[00:02:15]THROUGH EVERY FARM AND [music] THE sleepy town square, THE SMELL OF revolution lives in the air.

[00:02:24]THEY CAN SEIZE THE POWDER.

[00:02:28]>> [music] >> THEY CAN BURN DOWN THE HALL.

[00:02:33]BUT THE VOICE IN THE DARKNESS IS A WAKE UP CALL.

[00:02:39]>> [music] >> I MET DAWES AND Prescott in the [music] chill of the dew, but the red-coated patrols were awaiting in wait. A pistol to the chest [music] and the circle drew through as they took my horse and I bowed TO MY FATE.

[00:03:02]>> [music] >> THEY HELD ME AT GUNPOINT. THEY questioned my name while the bells [music] in the distance BEGAN THEIR ALARM. THE SECRET [music] WAS OUT AND THE WORLD was in flame.

[00:03:16]Protecting the stars on the Lexington farm.

[00:03:20]I walked back to town [music] through the gray of the dawn to the house where the leaders were hiding in [music] fear.

[00:03:29]The line was being drawn on the Lexington lawn as the sound [music] of the marching grew heavy and near.

[00:03:38]A flash in the [music] pan and a soul on the grass.

[00:03:42]The blood of the farmer [music] is the price of the day.

[00:03:46]THE ERA OF kings is beginning to pass as the smoke [music] of musket IS DRIFTING OUT.

[00:03:58]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> THE GATES are open and the bells are ABOUT TO RING.

[00:04:51]DEFIANCE TO THE END AND THE WILL of the king. Through every farm AND THE SLEEPY TOWN SQUARE, THE SMELL OF revolution lives IN THE AIR.

[00:05:06]THEY CAN SEIZE THE POWDER.

[00:05:09]>> [music] >> THEY CAN BURN DOWN THE HALL, BUT THE VOICE IN THE DARKNESS IS A WAKE up [music] call.

[00:05:29]>> [music] >> The ride is over.

[00:05:35]The sun [music] has moved.

[00:05:39]And the will of the people [music] is being proved.

[00:05:47]>> [music] [screaming] [sighs] >> Woo!
