He leave no gold in teeth of enemy.

He not have the word that mean love.

Strong man beat the plowshare, he forges sword.
He take the flower and he curse the thorn.
He crush the serpent, he bite the fruit.
His hand is absolute.

And the world keep on turning.
And the sun keep on burning.
And the children keep learning
How to grow up big and strong.
How to grow up big and strong.
