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
