Embers in dormancy - the greatest of sins Damming the blood that flows, closing the veins Drowning in lethargy, deadly decay Losing vitality, fading away Deep-seated malady holds you in chains Taking its root from the seed that you have Sucking the life from you, rusting your blade Arresting your will on the orders you bade By thy deeds Kindling flames Sowing seeds By thy deeds Sounding the strings Avowing your sovereignty, making your waves Marking you out from the mass of the slaves Claiming your land, truth to proclaim Repay the gift with the exploits of fame
