Throughout time, there's been Crimes, throughout our history But not as great, as the one of late, affecting you and me Once a nation proud and free, and now we're weeping sorrow's tears Tragedy's approaching, it's worse than all your fears (chorus) Come on my countrymen Come on and take a stand Don't let 'em take away your land Once our nation's future, was Decided by the sane And now a poison's leaking in, and coursing through our nation's veins
Now this poisoner worships gold, and don't care for you and me It's using veils and cunning words to make us blind so we can't see (chorus) Instrumental break (chorus) Looking back to times gone by, When man fought for his land Now with his pride they put him down, and try to tie his hands Our ancestors, they lost their lives, to make our futures' good Now it's our turn to stand and spurn the poison running through our blood (chorus) x2
