No man, no madness   Though their sad power may prevail   Can possess, conquer, my country's heart   They rise to fail      She is eternal   Long before nations lines were drawn   When no flags flew and no armies stood   My land was born      And you ask me why I love her   Through wars, death and despair   She is the constant, we who don't care   And you ask me would I leave her but how?      I cross over borders but I'm still there now      How can I leave her? Where would I start?   Let men's petty nations tear themselves apart   My land's only borders lie around my heart
