No man, no madness
Though their sad
Power may prevail
Can possess, conquer,
My country's heart.
They rise to fail.
She is eternal
Long before
Nations' lines were drawn.
When no flags flew,
When no armies stood
My land was born.
And you ask me
Why I love her
Through wars,
Death and despair
She is the constant,
We who don't care.
And you wonder
Will I leave her
But how?
I cross over borders,
But I'm still there now.
How could I leave her?
Where would I start?
Let man's petty nations
Tear themselves apart.
My land's only borders
Lie around my heart.
