We won't reveal our ailments, and what haunts our sleep nightly
In this tiny little world, we've locked ourselves in so tightly
And the dead stand between us like wreaths and the people we've abandoned
The life, we've surrendered to the streams
Oh Rhodesia, I've given you my all
And now, I'm nothing
I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing
One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail
One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail
All that's left now are dreams of kings we've murdered to dissect
For our meddling intellect misshapes the beauteous forms of things
So, we bleat a little, twist a little, rotting in the belly of the beast
While you feel you cannot be wrong
O Rhodesia, I've given you my all
And now, I'm nothing
I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing
One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail
One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail
One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do faill
Oh Rhodesia, I've given you my all
And now, I'm nothing
I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing
One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do faill
One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do faill
One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do faill
One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do faill
One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do faill
One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do faill
