Come awake my sordid soul Like iron turned to gold Chisel of the carver Draw out the angel Come awake my nation for With a little self-control now With vision We can break our indecision Our cage is strong, our iron bonds They make us feel secure We close the doors to a dragon's hoard What makes us so assured And you say that all is fair in war But only for those who waste the most Time and life and gold For a finite cause Right now, you waste my time You waste my life and all that's mine For a fool who caused all this dismay Rage is building up In waves it overcomes Sword out, drawn out By young, misguided sons When fear is gone our eyes are gone We're blinded for our cause When caution calls, compassion falls We put our blinkers on Fear my heir but no-one greater Feel the weight of all my favour Gone, as blood breaks down the stone Fear my heir but no-one greater Feel the weight of all my favour Gone, when all I've earned is gone With nothing left And we stand where no one's been before But still we're holding onto the things That make us self-absorbed When we could change the world Took this land, took these hands In blood and sand, we made our clans Claim its love that divides us Claims its peace that incites us Water forms a castle wall now Within it lies its lords Who dream of gold forever more while The world is limping on In a place where no one's been before But still we're holding onto the things That make us self-absorbed When we could change The cycle slides another time in war But of the same, old kind It's by these things we won't let go While seated on this throne
