|
Ten score years ago, defeat the kingly foe |
|
A wondrous dream came into being |
|
Tame the trackless waste, no virgin land left chaste |
|
All shining eyes, but never seeing |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Beneath the noble bird |
|
Between the proudest words |
|
Behind the beauty, cracks appear |
|
Once with heads held high |
|
They sang out to the sky |
|
Why do their shadows bow in fear? |
|
Watch the cities rise |
|
Another ship arrives |
|
Earth's melting pot and ever growing |
|
Fantastic dreams come true |
|
Inventing something new |
|
The greatest minds, and never knowing |
|
[Chorus] |
|
The guns replace the plow, facades are tarnished now |
|
The principles have been betrayed |
|
The dreams's gone stale, but still, let hope prevail |
|
History's debt won't be repaid |
|
[Chorus] |
