No man, no madness
|
Though their sad power may prevail
|
Can possess, conquer, my country's heart
|
They rise to fail
|
She is eternal
|
Long before nations' lines were drawn
|
When no flags flew, when no armies stood
|
My land was born
|
And you ask me why I love her
|
Through wars, death, and despair She is the constant
|
We who don't care
|
And you wonder why I leave her
|
But how?
|
I cross over borders but I'm still there now
|
How can I leave her?
|
Where would I start?
|
Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart
|
My land's only borders lie around my heart
|
