On all sides they desecrate you.
From inside, they pilfer your cities
From outside, they arrive to steal your glory
Raped by your own people, these very same
Who maimed the children
Stole from your temples
Work now keep your country broken and fallen.
Your children who were once limbless
Are now as disposable as
The trinkets that they proffer.
The hopes of a people
The splendor of a nation
Robbed of their wealth
Sold to the thieves.
