Sculptured Heart of Tomorrow

Leave me to sing!
Leave me alone!
I am not lost in self pity
I know the road to follow
I know where to get help
not riding in war garment
"One man for himself" they said
I am not lost in shame 
I know my route in life
Never will I honour defeat
Join them if you want to perish
Follow their ways and be gone
I am an ordinary man;
Ordinary man with dreams
The verses of my hope is not empty
The eyes of my tears is not 
without a flameable urge
to behold freedom at all cost
Leave me alone to journey alone!
Destiny chooses me on this
Leave me alone to find honour!
