Alberta Referendum Song
No More Chains
A Ricochette anthem for Alberta freedom fighters — prairie roots, rebel spirit, and one loud signal before October 19.
This song is dedicated to Alberta freedom fighters. Come, vote and take a stance. No more chains. No more fear. Time to stand up!
Lyrics
Intro
No more chains… No more chains… No more chains…
Verse 1
We’ve carried the weight for a hundred long years Paid the price while they laughed in our ears Eastern hands in our pockets, boots on our neck Told us to smile while they kept us in check But the quiet is over, the waiting is done October is coming and we will not run
Pre-Chorus
All across the province the people rise Look at the fire in ordinary eyes
Chorus
No more chains! No more chains! Alberta’s breaking free No more chains! No more chains! This is our victory On the 19th of October we make our stand One vote, one voice, one free land No more chains!
Verse 2
They said we were crazy, they said we would fall They said a province can’t stand up at all But history’s watching and so is the West The day is arriving that puts us to the test From the mountains to the prairies the message is clear We are done being quiet — the moment is here
Bridge
This is the day that can change it all The day they will remember when the old ways fall Not with a whisper, not with a plea But with the roar of a people who choose to be free
Final Chorus
No more chains! No more chains! Alberta’s breaking free No more chains! No more chains! This is our victory On the 19th of October we make our stand One vote, one voice, one free land No more chains! No more chains! No more chains!
