[Verse 1]

No man, no madness

Though their sad power may prevail

Can possess, conquer, my country's heart

They rise to fail

[Verse 2]

She is eternal

Long before nations' lines were drawn

When no flags flew, when no armies stood

My land was born

[Pre-Chorus]

And you ask me why I love her

Through wars, death and despair

She is the constant, we who don't care

[Chorus]

And you wonder, will I leave her—but how?

I cross over borders but I'm still there now

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

How can I leave her? Where would I start?

Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart

My land's only borders lie around my heart
