Verse 1 – 8 Bars

• pity the nation that is full of empty faith
• pity the nation that wears cloth it does not weave
• eats gluttony breads it does not harvest
• drinks wine that flows not from its wine press
• pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero
• hails and deems the glittering conquerer bountiful
• pity a nation that despises passion
• only in its dreams submits to awakening
