I am a child in ambush with no means of defense There is no hope for resistance I submit in silence I lie with the enemy and betray my soul My courage, it fails me I am a prisoner of war I find myself a slave To the ruler of this world My dignity defamed Sowing seeds of the fruit of the fall The fall for which he blames I will not endure this prison Take heart, defy these shaking hands There must be truth, there must be freedom With broken legs I'll make my stand I won't lie with the enemy Or betray my soul I will find the courage To be a man at war
