No, Its Glory Is Already Doomed
How many stars are on that beautiful flag
that makes all Americans immensely proud?
Can we see its stripes and stars that reflect the brightness
of the bluest oceans and the endless skies
that strengthened the spirit of soldiers going to war?
No, its glory is already doomed!
The screams of freedom were heard from far, no nation
on earth has ever known such wealth, such splendor;
a stately woman with a crown opened her generous arms
and greeted millions, they called her: Lady Liberty.
Who awaits the golden dawn after all darkness vanishes?
Do I hear loud voices praising Man or a God who doesn't
allow a concept of deceitful lies and schemes?
No, its glory is already doomed!
