The seeds of its glory,

Even Christ-loving ones.

To the dream they could

Here you said I'm right,

And the empire fell

On it's own splintered axis.

As the silver moon waxes.

And the farmers will find our coins
Am
In their strawberry fields

While somebody somewhere

Twists his ring as someone kneels.
Verse 13

Oh where is the sun,
shining for everyone.

Oh where is the sun, shining for everyone.
