The Great Wall

Built from a brick into a cell I'm a life-giving cell in a shell Beneath the long shadow you cast Deep within your soul of cement We treasure more than the silk we sell The world will know our power as well High perpendicular the dreams you overcast Can be seen a peoples greatest feat History stands at the edge like a waterfall Below the great monument lies our hell Our legacy of obedience and descipline A dynasty rising from the oriental plane A thousand years of history you do tell That atop the Himalayas freedom dwells Spreading like a wind blown document The great wall is our lasting testament
