Once upon a time, in a peaceful land
An empire lazied in riches and glee.
A kingdom with infinite beauties and wealth beyond reckoning.
Peaceful are its people with science and art their way was paved.
Eager they were to share their blessings with all around.
Ignorant they were of the greed and mischief of their neighbors in the northern kingdoms.
Their riches were coveted, their wealth was envied.
Their neighbors said their riches shall be ours.
A ruse they plotted, a lie they sung.
A mischief they managed.
Trickery was their weapon.
Religion was their net, armies they caught.
Marched they did to the sleeping nation.
Murderers you are they sung, a holy war ours is.
Barbarian you are, freedom we bring.
Our enemies you are.
Fear you no more we shall!
The innocent were slain and the good were enslaved.
Oppression said my time has come!
Centuries passed and fate still plots.
From the ashes, a man he rose.
To a free plagued little kingdom he worked.
Cure he brought, order he restored.
A wise man he was.
No one can deny it.
He called for justice, freedom he brought.
The people said lead and we follow.
He swam through a sea with his people by his side.
Through an ocean of oppression.
Through a sea of lies.
Victorious they emerged.
A feared enemy they became as the lies once weaved.
Mercy they showed, peace they brought.
And the great kingdom was restored and yet was no more.
Centuries later history screams.
Look out small kingdom! Mistakes I will repeat.
Lies were weaved and armies sent to make the land cry again.
Bombs they dropped and innocent killed
Old lies they forgot and new lies weaved, were they not.
To wage a war for riches they covet.
Terrorists was their claim, democracy was their lie.
Innocence they slew, Peace they murdered.
But history says worry not little kingdom, be patient little kingdom.
From ashes a hero shall rise.
Restore balance he shall.
Bring peace he shall.
Time is needed.
But my promise is law.
Great you once were.
Great and free again you shall be.
