Anthem — текст песни (Michael Ball)

(tim rice/benny andersson/bjoern ulvacus)

From the musical, chess







No man, no madness,

Though their sad power may prevail,

Can possess, conquer, my countrys heart

They rise to fail





She is eternal

Long before nations lines were drawn

When no flags flew, and 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 dont care

And you ask me would I leave her -- but how?

I cross over borders but Im still there now





How can I leave her?

Where would I start?

Let mens petty nations tear themselves apart

My lands only borders lie around my heart
