The town's but rubble in a landscape of defeats
The smell of smoke is reeking, filling up the streets
Had I been there, had we stood tall, we may be here today
But nothing's left of it, decaying homes of yesterday
Maybe there's more to tell
Maybe there's more to tell
The birds continue singing, for no one to hear
I've heard the passing bell
I know I've heard it well
The birds continue singing, for no one to hear
If only I were here
A hundred years are gone
A hundred years were wasted
We'll have to wait how long
To fix the falling nation
A hundred years are gone
A hundred more will pass
Together and united we will last
Together and united we will last
Together and united we will last
Together and united we will last
