[Intro]
Take me down
To where I'll lie
Unbind my wounds
I'm resigned to die
Yon the kingdom burns
Before me
Before me
[Verse 1]
Though victory is ours at last
I despair for future days
All men are doomed to forget
All roads are bound to stray
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The flames of greed
Once again will rise
Our children will weep
Where their fathers die
[Chorus]
So, take me down
To where I'll lie
Unbind my wounds
I'm resigned to die
Yon the kingdom burns
Before me
[Verse 2]
Justice defiled, ruled by the lash
We drank of a long parched well
Our ideals inhumed in ash
The republic finally fell
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Our flesh is marred
Our youth bereft
The pain of these scars
We must not forget
[Chorus]
So, take me down
To where I'll lie
Unbind my wounds
I'm resigned to die
Yon the Kingdom burns
Before me
