We sit here with muscles like warriors Incarnates Remembering our glorious past We steer like peasants And watch as our glory before our very own eyes fly pass Oh lonely sky on who's back the Eagle once once rode Who vanquished our symbol of freedom that above us once soar high? Oh sacred pride that now houses reptiles and beasts Where is the lion that on thee once ruled with iron fists? It no longer roars But in deep sleep it only snores Oh waves That once kissed our sandy shores How mighty Your hand that now break into our doors Snatching our young ones You leave our fathers in painful groans And our mothers mourning their lost sons Oh glory, oh glory, oh glory of old How we speak about you Like great tales our ancestors told

We sit here with muscles like warriors Incarnates Remembering our glorious past We steer like peasants And watch as our glory before our very own eyes fly pass Oh lonely sky on who's back the Eagle once once rode Who vanquished our symbol of freedom that above us once soar high? Oh sacred pride that now houses reptiles and beasts Where is the lion that on thee once ruled with iron fists? It no longer roars But in deep sleep it only snores Oh waves That once kissed our sandy shores How mighty Your hand that now break into our doors Snatching our young ones You leave our fathers in painful groans And our mothers mourning their lost sons Oh glory, oh glory, oh glory of old How we speak about you Like great tales our ancestors told
