Ego
Head in hand
I wish I had
The power to tell them
That their despair was not to be final
And that their night was not without hope
The battle they'd lost can never be forgotten
For which they'd died to save
This anthem can never perish!
What brought this to pass?
What disaster took their reason?
What lashed them to their knees in shame
And submission?
I look upon the history of man
What I have learned from books and I wonder
These are the things before me
As I stand at the door of glory
These
Days were few among
Men
A few of clear sight and
Soul
The agony must have been
Theirs
Which they could not stop
Cried
Out in protest and warning
But
Men paid no heed
These
Few fought a hopeless battle
I
Send my pity
Perished with their banners
Smeared with their own blood
They chose to perish
For they knew
For they knew!
Through all the darkness
Through all the shame
The spirit of man will remain
It may sleep but it will awaken
It may wear chains
But it will break through
Man will go on
Man not men
Man not men!
Head in hand
I wish I had
The power to tell them
That their despair was not to be final
And that their night was not without hope
The battle they'd lost can never be forgotten
For which they'd died to save
This anthem can never perish!
For the coming of that day I shall fight
My sons and I
For the freedom of man
For his life,
For his honor
Over the portals of my fort
Cut in stone
My beacon my banner
This is the word that will not die
For it is the heart of the Earth
Ego!
Ego!
Ego!
Ego!
Ego!
Ego!
Ego!
Ego!
We shall break
All these chains
Build a new world
Lost and hidden away
Raze the enslaved
Louder each day
And word of it
Shall reach every corner of the
Earth!
I wish I had
The power to tell them
That their despair was not to be final
And that their night was not without hope
The battle they'd lost can never be forgotten
For which they'd died to save
This anthem can never perish!
What brought this to pass?
What disaster took their reason?
What lashed them to their knees in shame
And submission?
