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
