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]
