In ruins of the Roman’s greed Lies my city by the sea Where as a boy my joy would cry To count the blessings green For Mother Earth was me and we Built cities by the sea
Until the day I came to lead This city by the sea Where as a man I vowed to try To save her shores serene From enemies of liberty In cities by the sea
Free trade could not appease their need For cities by the sea Where as a slave I live to die And feed their war machine Eroding in democracy Like cities by the sea
